Another way to keep the bracelet/necklace steady is to stick a safety pin thru the fastener loops and then pin it to you jeans, shorts, or anything else you can pin it on to.

Macrame?  This is a sennit (or sinnet, depending on where you live) - beloved of rope-working seamen for a very long time.  But a great idea nonetheless - thanks Threadbanger for those very clear instructions and photos.  I often try to teach people this technique - hope you don't mind my borrowing your instructions in future.<G>

The sennit can be straight or twisted, depending on whether the loops are woven on alternate sides or (like this one) on one side only, and beads can be placed over the central twin strands before each loop.

Also good for making lanyards for bosuns' pipes, binoculars, or - these days - mobile phones and cameras.  Experiment with different gauges and colours of line - I've even made very delicate ones out of embroidery thread.

And a great way to occupy your fingers if, like me, you feel guilty 'just' watching the TV...
