How to get a thicker braid?

Thick braids are beautiful! I came across some on Pinterest after seeing a video on Youtube and it’s been in my head ever since.

Only thing is, my hair is not long enough for a thick and luscious braid (well, it’s starting to grow anyway), but it’s definitely not thick enough.

Maybe I should buy clip-in extensions to make a thicker braid!
