PROCEDURE

The procedure:

Step 1:
String the individual threads for the tassel. The tassel consists of 12 strung rocaille cords. Cut off about 0.50 m of thread. String 1x R, 1x FPB6 and 5.5 cm R. Slide them to about the centre of the thread. Thread the line through 1x FPB6 and the 5.5 cm R once again.

Step 2:
Once you have 12 cords, place them together. Straighten them together with the end of the rocaille stringing. Tie them all together with a knot. Make a large loop in the thread and pass the end of the thread through it.

Step 3:
Prepare the thread for the skirt. The skirt is made of 10 tassels consisting of B and R, with FPB6 in the lower section and sewn into a mesh in the higher section using FPB3. Cut off about 3.20 m of thread. Thread it into the eye of the needle. String 1x R onto the thread. Arrange the thread into two equal lengths (2 x 1.60 m). Tie off the ends of the threads (a small knot like a weaver's knot). Slide the strung 1x R up to the knot. String 1x FPB6 and hide the knot in it.

Step 4:
Sew the skirt according to the drawing.

Step 5:
String an arm on a line. String 1x FPB3, 1x FPB6, a 6 mm rondel, 1x FPB6, 1x FPB8, an 8 mm roundel, 1x FPB6 and 1x R. Thread the line back through the FPB and the roundels. String the arm on the other side in the same way. Then tie off the ends of the lines with five knots. Pull the ends and the knot into the FPB.

Step 6:
Assembly. Divide the tassel cords in half. Thread under an eye pin. Thread the end of the pin through the eye of the pin. Tighten. Thread the skirt, an 8 mm roundel, an IM10 and a 6 mm roundel. Link the eye.

Step 7:
Completion. Enlarge the eye on the eye pin. Thread through the pin above the tassel. Press the centre of the arm into the eye. Close the eye. String a IM14. Link the eye. Add a carabiner to the eye using a ring.
