Procedure

Sew through each row several times, so that it is sufficiently strong. Before stringing the beads, check all the holes to ensure that they are clear.

Step 1

String 6x Tw (fig. no. 1a) and tie them in a circle with a double knot (fig. no. 1b). Leave about 8 cm at the end and sew the end of the line in.
