Get one of the fabric strips and fold it in half lengthwise, right sides together. Sew with a 0.2-inch seam allowance. Cut the ends diagonally forming a triangle. Insert a needle with a thread on the tip, then insert the needle into the tube all the way to the other end. Once you reach the end, carefully pull the thread to flip the fabric right side out.
Get two long strands of yarn. Tie the end of the thread on the needle to the middle of the strands. Insert the needle into the tube again all the way to the other end. Cut the excess.
Repeat steps one and two for the other fabric strips.
Get the 6 strips and clip one of the ends together in a single layer. Start braiding the strips using the common three-strand braid technique until the other end, then clip it to hold it in place.
Measure your wrist using a strip of paper. Then trace the ends to your braided strips. Hand-sew it on the drawn lines. Once done, cut the excess.
Attach the ribbon clamps on the end using pliers, then attach the hook.
