I bought a book on Chinese knots by Suzen Millodot several years ago. It was a well-written book and very easy to follow. I've mastered some of the knots myself. Utilizing what I've learned, I created some of my own pieces. I'm going to show you one of my favorite projects. Whether you create these fun bracelets for kids or adults, the idea is the same. Everything you'll need is in the picture below, almost everything anyway. You'll also need matches or a lighter. Materials you'll need for making the bracelet: 1. Sixteen to twenty-two 8mm jade beads or other stone beads (Of course it's totally up to you how many beads or what size beads you use. Make sure the cord you use go through the holes of your beads fairly easily. Sixteen 8mm beads will make a kid size bracelet of about 5-1/2" and you can make a bracelet of about 7-1/2" with twenty-two 8mm beads including the extentder) 2. Two 6 mm jade beads or other stone beads 3. 4' satin cord (this gives you extra to spare) Tools you'll need: 1. Headpin 2. Scissors 2. Candle 3. Matches or lighter Cut 20" to 2' satin cord first and tie a knot at about 5" to 6" from one end of the cord. Light your candle first and put the other end of the cord (the end without the knot) into the flame for a couple seconds or until you see that the cord has just started to melt. Immediately pull the cord away from the flame and form a sharp end. Please see the picture below. Pull the sharp end of the cord through an 8mm bead and pull it against that first knot. Use a headpin to help push the cord through the bead if necessary. Now it's time to tie the second knot. Please follow the pictures shown below to find out how to tie it closely against the first bead. Repeat the same steps for the rest of the knots. Make sure they're tied against each bead. I just realized I don't have all the pictures for the sliding extender. I'll make this part 1 and finish it tomorrow. Stay tuned! Part 2 is here!

Step by step tutorial with a lot of photos as always. Those earrings are made with 3 different size of beads (8, 11 and 15). There is nothing inside them (no wooden ring, no metal ring or cotton wool...) what give them a shape what they have. It's just mine "clever" construction :). You don't have to buy all those things for those earrings. You can make them bigger or smaller without problem. Size of the earrings: 4.4 cm diameter, and the inner circle is 2 cm diameter. For those earrings you should know RAW (basic: to start, to do second, third row...). There is a little bit of peyote stitch and embellishment...

A self-closing mock ring (often abbreviated as SCMR) is actually a tatted chain with a loop left at the beginning. To add a bead in the center, tat to reach halfway around the bead, then slip the bead onto the loop. Here I've put the bead onto a small crochet hook and I'll use the hook to pull the loop through the bead, but there are other ways to do it, too. After the bead is placed onto the loop of thread, put the shuttle though the loop. A trick I like to use is to leave a paper clip in as a space saver, to make the final join easier. The paper clip is hanging between the start of the tatting and the bead, so it's sort of like holding a small picot temporarily. Continue by tightening the core (shuttle thread) around the bead. Here the bead is in place. Continue tatting the rest of the way around the bead. Now the paper clip is removed, showing the space it had been saving. This is where the crochet hook is inserted to pull the shuttle thread through. Finish with a lock join. Bead in center of completed mock ring. This is a technique I use often in my tatted jewelry. The pattern for the above example uses one shuttle and ball thread. Supplies: size 20 Lizbeth thread, an 8mm round bead, and 24 size 11 seed beads. (To use a different size thread or beads, the stitch counts will need to be adjusted to fit). String the 24 seed beads onto the ball thread, then wind just a small amount of thread onto the shuttle. The beads remain on the ball thread. SCMR 2, (bead picot with 3 beads, 2-2) 3 times, bead picot with 3 beads, 2. Place the round bead onto the loop that was left at the beginning, put the shuttle through the loop, and tighten around bead. Continue the SCMR with a picot at the end of the round bead, 2, (bead picot with 3 beads, 2-2) 3 times, bead picot with 3 beads, 2. Tighten, then lock join to base of round bead. This is how much I have shown in the photos. I hope this will give you an idea that you will enjoy using.
