STEP 1 After threading the bead create a loose simple knot.
STEP 2 Insert the tip of the beading awl into the knot.
STEP 3 Pull the longer section of cord so it pulls the beading awl towards the bead.
STEP 4 Keep pulling the longer section of cord until the beading awl sits on top of the bead.
STEP 5 While you are sliding the beading awl off using your fingers push the knot further down next to the bead.
STEP 6 Remove the beading awl and push the knot so it sits flushed next to the bead.
Hi Judith, how much did do you work with at a time – or how much did do you allow for the desired length of the necklace? I’m doing the lava stone diffuser chakra necklace from the kit and there is quite a lot of the cord in the kit – I’m guessing it’s best not to try to use the full length?!?
Hi,
Cut 2 metres for the necklace. Tip place the skein on a chair or similar and wind around a card. It will stop the cord from knotting.
I hope that helps Judith
