PROCEDURE

The procedure:

Step 1:
Cut off a piece of line which is about 40 cm long. Alternately string 8x R8 and 8x B onto it (fig. 1), move them to the end of the line and tie a double knot (fig. 2).

Step 2:
Thread the line through the top hole of the B (fig. 3), then string 1x P and 3x R13 (fig. 4) and thread the line through the top hole of the next B (fig. 5). Repeat this procedure all the way around (fig. 6).

Step 3:
Sew another 5x R13 to the R13 next to one of the upper B (fig. 7) so that a loop is created, into which it is possible to attach an earring hook (figs. 8 - 9). Complete the second earring in the same way (fig. 10).
