PROCEDURE
The procedure:
The linked section
Linked diamonds
You need 3 diamond shapes. You will need 9x H for one diamond. All of them are oriented in the same direction.
Step 1
Link 27x H. String 1x H onto the shortest eye pin. Grasp the end of the eye pin's wire with the points of the needle nose pliers in the upper section. Twist it around the point. Gently twist the linked eye back at the edge of the hole. It will be located centrally above the hole. The eyes on both sides of the H must be in the same position. Straighten them using the two pliers. If the eye pin is too long, shorten the protruding linked section of the wire to about 8 mm. Then twist an eye.
Step 2
String 1x H, 1x R6, 1x H, 1x R6 and 1x H onto a medium-sized eye pin. The central H is turn in the opposite direction to the outer ones. If the eye pin is too long, shorten the protruding wire to 8 mm. Create an eye. The eyes on both sides should be in the same position.
Step 3
String 1x H, 1x R6 and 1x H from the already linked part of the diamond, 1x R6, 1x H, 1x R6 and 1x H from the already linked part of the diamond and 1x R6 and 1x H on the longest eye pin. The H on the already linked sections are turned in the opposite direction to the newly strung ones. Adjust the length of the eye pin. Create an eye. The eyes on both sides should be in the same position.
Step 4
String 1x H from the already linked part of the diamond, 1x R6, 1x H , 1x R6 and 1x H from the already linked part of the diamond and 1x R6, 1x H, 1x R6 and 1x H from the already linked part of the diamond onto the longest eye pin. The H on the already linked sections are turned in the opposite direction to the newly strung ones. Adjust the length of the pin. Create an eye. The eyes on both sides should be in the same position.
Step 5
String 1x H from the already linked part of the diamond and 1x R6, 1x H, 1x R6 and 1x H from the already linked part of the diamond on a medium-sized eye pin. The H on the already linked sections are turned in the opposite direction to the newly strung ones. Adjust the length of the pin. Create an eye. The eyes on both sides should be in the same position.
The linked chain
Step 6
Link chains of 4x H from a further 16x H. Link 1x H. String a new eye pin before fully closing the eye. Continue linking further H. Twist the H in the chain in the same direction. Link the H chains from both sides of two diamonds. Once again, pay attention to the direction of the H.
The tassle
String 10 cords at a length of 17.5 cm with a 0.5 cm gap (2x R6, 2x R8, 3x R10, 3x T8).
Step 1
Prepare the spacer made from thick cardboard. Cut out squares with 2 cm sides. Glue them together. Make a cut to the centre on one side of the square.
Step 2
Thead about 15 cm of the thin tailor's thread into the eye of a needle. Tie off the ends. This will create a large loop. Thread the medium thick thread through the loop.
Step 3
Cut off a longer piece of thread. String 13 cm of material on one end. leave out the last strung piece. Thread the line through all the others one more time. String 4.5 cm of material on the other end. Leave out the last piece. Thread the line through all the others.
Step 4
Move both parts together. Insert the spacer between the seed beads in the shorter part. Tie off the ends of the thread.
Step 5
Remove the spacer. Thread the ends of the thread through several seed beads in the shorter part and cut them off. Move the seed beads over the knot in hte direction towards the end. Make a gap in the middle of the cord.
Step 6
Fold all 10 cords in half. Place them one after the other into an open 6 mm ring at the site of the gap. String the eye of the eye pin by the H on the diamond in the ring. Turn the H with the facet towards the tassel. Close the ring.
Completion
Step 7
Connect the outer H at the linked chains with the diamond above the tassel using 6 mm rings. Orient all the H with the facet downwards.
Step 8
Connect the chain to the linked eyes at the outer H on the other side of the linked chains. Adjust the length as necessary. The chains in the example are 25 cm long. The tassle stretches to the waist.
Step 9
Connect the carabniner and the counter-ring on the opposite end of the chain using a 4mm ring.
