PROCEDURE

The procedure:

The triangle
Cut off about 40 cm of the line. Flatten one end using the flat nose pliers. String it through the eye of the needle. Tie on an R on the other end. This will prevent the B from falling off the stringing. String 3x B. Thread the line through them one more time. Tighten and tie off with three knots. Pull the ends of the line into the adjacent B. Prepare all the B in this way.

Earrings
Select the bright red, purple and warm yellow traingles. Open a 8 mm ring. Thread the ring under one peak of each of the three triangles. Close. Open a 5 mm ring. Thread the 8 mm ring and the eye on an earring hook through it. Close it. Repeat this step one more time. You have completed the earrings.

The necklace
Place one bright red triangle aside. Mix up all the others. Cut off 50 cm of chain. Count off 8 cm of chain from one end. This will form the adjusting - sliding section. Place the ends together, the lower section is the middle. Hang half the triangles on one side. Then hang the second half of the triangles on the other side. Open an 8 mm ring. Insert any triangle. Hang it on a chain link. Close the ring. The triangle will hang from one of its points. Keep hanging triangles in the chain links until they run out. Attach a carabiner to the shorter end of the chain using a 5 mm ring. Hang the bright red triangle on the second longer end using an 8 mm ring.
