Step 6

Connect the band into a circle.

Add 3x R1 and thread the line through the middle R1. Create the point of the loop. Pull out the R stop bead. Tie off the line and finish it.

Step 7

Create the circle.

On one side of the band, thread the line through the top R1. Add 1x R1 between every second one (a total of 24x). Thread the line through one more time. Tie off the line and finish it off.

Repeat Step 11 again 20 more times (21 times in total).

12

Step 13

Repeat Steps 8 - 12 one more time.

Step 14

Connect both parts of the band into a circle. Add 3x R2 and thread the line through the middle R2. Create the point of the loop. Pull out the R stop bead. Tie off the line and finish it off.

Step 15

Create the circle.

On one side of the band, thread the line through the top R2 (a total of 24x). Thread the line through one more time. Tie off the line and finish it.

Step 16

Sew both circles to the circumferential holes on the sieve at the same time. Tie the line to the sieve. Place the knot on the rear side. First use the holes that are located opposite one another (the green points). Then use the holes located crosswise the previous ones (the red points). Then finish using the remaining holes (the blue points). During this process, you can tighten the line several times by tying it to the end of the line used to attach the circles to the sieve.

Step 17

Sew on the C. Once again use the circumferential holes on the sieve, always using two oppositely placed holes.
