Wish bracelets are made of hemp cord, which will slowly decompose over time and eventually fall off. You want to use a biodegradable cord that will wear out over time because your wishes are said to come true when the bracelet falls off.
Beads are also used in a wishing bracelet. The beads represent the wishes that you are hoping for.

Wondering how does a wish bracelet work? These are the wish bracelet rules:
Wrap the beaded bracelet around your wrist, leaving a little bit of room for it to fit comfortably but snug.
Tie a double knot with the ends the bracelet. Pull the knot tightly, but make sure you don’t make the bracelet too tight around your wrist.
This tutorial makes one bracelet.
Cut 3 pieces of hemp cord in 15″ lengths.
Gather the ends of the 3 pieces of cord together and make a double knot. Leave about 2-3 inches of extra cord at the end.
Braid the 3 cords together for around 2 1/2 inches.
Add a bead to the cord on the right, then bring it over the middle cord. Bring the left cord over, under the bead. See the pictures below for a photo tutorial.
Repeat this step above until all seven beads have been added.
After adding all of the beads, continue braiding the three cords together for another 2 1/2 inches, then add a double knot at the end.
Now you know how easy it is to make a wish bracelet! Make several for yourself or your friends to make your wishes coming true!
