ENVISION PEEKING THROUGH A GATED window as
you create this modern cuff with twisted bugles and cylinder
beads. Alternate rows of one- and two-count peyote stitch to
make the beading interesting and provide rich texture.
1) CLOSED SECTION. Peyote-stitch the
first portion of the cuff:
Rows 1 and 2: Use 6' of thread to string
14A, leaving a 2' tail.
Row 3: String 2A, skip the 2A previously
strung, and pass through 1A; repeat
three times to add a total of 8A.
String 2A and tie a knot with the work-
ing and tail threads to secure the beads.
Pass back through the last 2A added.
Row 4: String 1B and pass back through
the next 2A from the previous row;
repeat three times to add a total of 4B.
Row 5: String 2A and pass back through
the nearest bead added from the pre-
vious row; repeat to add a total of 10A.
Form a turnaround to step up for the
next and subsequent rows by looping
the thread around the exposed thread
between beads from the previous two
rows and passing back through the
final 2A added in the current row.
ARTI ST S TI PS
If youre using similar colors
for the dots, lay them out in
a row to keep track.
Be sure that the beads snap
into place in each peyote-
stitched row.
Its best to end and begin new
threads in a closed section
rather than in an open one.
To shorten the bracelet, add
fewer rows of dots in the first
section. To lengthen, add
more rows of the background
color on the button end.
I use contrasting-color thread
to accentuate the pixilated
nature of this design.
Row 6: Repeat Row 4, substituting A
for B.
Row 7: Repeat Row 5.
Rows 839: Repeat Rows 46, substitut-
ing the next cylinder-bead color in the
materials list for the B in Rows 8, 12,
16, 20, 24, 28, 32, and 36.
Rows 4043: Repeat Rows 47 (Fig. 1).
2) OPEN SECTION. Form an opening
in the base:
Strip 1: String 2A; pass through the last
2A exited in the previous row and the
2A just added; repeat seven times,
using tight tension to form a ladder-
stitched strip 8 pairs long (Fig. 2
green thread).
Connector: String 12A (Fig. 2blue thread).
Strip 2: String 2A; pass through the last
2A exited on the connector and the
2A just added; repeat six times to
form a matching ladder-stitched strip

BEADWORK QUICK+EASY april/may 2011 Q+E 5
to Strip 1. Stitch the last pair of 2A to
the first 2A in Row 43. Repeat the
entire thread path to reinforce. Weave
through beads to exit from the last
pair of 2A added, toward the inside of
the opening (Fig. 2red thread).
3) POSTS. Add bugle and seed-bead
strands inside the opening:
Post 1: String 1K, 1L, 1M, 1L, and 1K;
pass through the mirror 2A directly
across the opening. Weave through
beads, forming a hidden turnaround,
skip the next 2A, and pass through
the next 2A, toward the inside of
the opening.
Posts 24: Repeat Post 1 three times to
add a total of 4 posts. Weave through
beads to exit from the nearest end 2A
of the connector (Fig. 3).
Repeat Step 1, Rows 343, through Step 3,
reversing the order of the colored beads
Fig. 4: Attaching the button and forming
the decreases
Fig. 1: Finishing the first closed section
added in the Step 1, Row 4 repeats.
Repeat Step 1, Rows 343, through Step 3
again, then repeat Step 1, Rows 343,
reversing the order of the colored beads
in the Step 1, Row 4 repeats.
4) CLASP LOOP. Ladder-stitch an
opening for the button by repeating
Step 2 and adding enough pairs of 2A to
each strip so the opening is large enough
to accept the button. Repeat Step 1,
Rows 6, 5, and 4, to finish the square. If
the space is too large, repeat Step 3, Post
1, to close the openings size. Repeat the
entire thread path again to reinforce.
Secure the thread and trim.
5) BUTTON. Use the tail thread and
A to peyote-stitch 2 rows or enough to
adjust for size, working in the same
two-drop/one-drop pattern. Work an-
other row, stringing the shank of the
button to form the center stitch instead
of using 2A. Work 2 more rows of peyote
stitch in the same fashion, incorporat-
ing the button shank into the rows.
Once the button is fully incorporated
into the beadwork, work rows of peyote
stitch with one decrease at the begin-
ning of each row (Fig. 4). Secure the
thread and trim.

it may help to insert a thin straw,
wooden skewer, or rolled-up piece
of paper into the beadwork. This
internal base gives you something

Rounds 510: Repeat Rounds 24, using
B in place of A for Rounds 5 and 6.
Weave through the final round in a
ladder-stitched thread path. Secure
the thread and trim.
Repeat entire step 13 times for a total
of 14 beaded beads. To add variation
between beads, switch the sections
in which A and B are used.
2) ASSEMBLY. Begin a new 2' thread
on a beaded bead that exits up through
a bottom bead in Round 3. String 1D
and one loop of the 2-to-1 connector;
pass back through the D just strung and
the tube bead just exited, then weave
through beads to exit down through the
top bead in the same Round 3 stack. Pass
through the D and connector, then back
through the D and through the side of
the beaded tube to exit between the top
and bottom beads of Round 3 on the op-
posite side of the tube (Fig. 5blue thread).
*String 1D, pass down through a bottom
bead in Round 3 of another beaded
tube, and weave through beads to exit
down through the top bead in the same
Round 3 stack. Pass back through the D
just added and pass up through the mir-
ror top bead of the first beaded tube.
Weave through beads to exit up through
the nearest bottom bead of the same
stack, then pass through the last D added
and through the side of the second
beaded tube (Fig. 5 red thread). Repeat
from * to connect the remaining beaded
beads, finishing with 1D and the other
connector. Repeat entire step, incorpo-
rating the other side of each connector
and weaving between the top and bot-
tom beads in Round 8.
3) FINISHING. Use 1 jump ring to
attach one connector to the toggle bar.
Repeat with the remaining jump ring
and toggle ring.

PF Beads
ELIMINATE PROBLEMS
WITH FADING OR
FLAKING
As most beaders know, those pretty galvanized and
Ceylon silver-lined fnishes on seed beads eventually
fade or fake over time. Its frustrating to put hours (or
months) into a project only to have the beads fail. Luck-
ily, Toho has created a seed bead with a new durable
fnish. If youve been avoiding those seed-bead fnishes
because you want to create lasting, heirloom-quality
jewelry, youll want to try Tohos PF beads.
This durable fnish is available in eighteen galvanized
colors and fourteen matte-galvanized. Shades such
as aluminum, silver gray, and rose gold are perfect for
beaders who love the look of metals in their jewelry.
This same durable fnish is also available for more than
two dozen colors of silver-lined beads. Choose soft
pinks, lavenders, and mint greens for sweet spring
bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. Selected PF beads
are available in a variety of shapes, including rounds,
triangles, cubes, magatamas, 3-cuts, bugles, charlottes,
and more. For a full list of available colors and shapes
of PF beads, visit www.tohobeads.net.
Mix It Up with
GEMSTONES, PEARLS,
WOOD, AND SHELLS
Share your love of Mother Nature by mixing gemstone
chips, nuggets, and simple cuts with earthy beads and
pendants made of wood, freshwater pearls, and shells.
Knot these gorgeous gemstones onto silk or cord or
string them on beading wire for an elegant multistrand
necklace or a bold, chunky bracelet.
Try these combinations for spring:
Embrace the lushness of a forest by pairing wood
beads with red creek jasper, African turquoise, labra-
dorite, or crazy lace agate.
Evoke a cool ocean breeze by combining silver leaf,
picture jasper, or amazonite with freshwater pearls
and natural shells.
Mimic bright, foral gardens by choosing rose quartz,
amethyst, olive jade, or yellow jade paired with color-
ful pearls.
In addition to its huge selection of semiprecious gem-
stones, FusionBeads.com offers the best online selec-
tion of Swarovski Elements products, charms, sterling

Create a
Stunning BEADED
CUFF BRACELET
Begin your unique cuff bracelet with Lacys Stiff Stuff,
a washable, shrink-resistant material that feels like
stiff felt. If you like, you can dye it and then cut out
the shape you need. You can also sketch your design
on it or just go with your creative fow. Next, choose
a lightweight aluminum cuff, from a sweet " band to a
bold 2" statement. Finally, select your focal pieces from
a huge range of options. Choose a brilliant Swarovski
rivoli or a handful of dramatic rhinestones. Or follow
one of the biggest jewelry trends by selecting resin and
glass cabochons and cameos. Small resin fowers and
vintage-style cameos provide color and class without
weighing down your designs. Finish your piece by
embroidering Toho and Delica seed beads around your
focals and attaching Lacys Stiff Stuff
to the cuff with a jewelry adhesive.
Visit Artbeads.com today and turn your imaginative
ideas into a gorgeous reality. With free shipping on

Artbeads.com is your source for colorful seed beads,

Select the BEST
BEADING WIRE for
Your Jewelry
The number of beading wire options can seem over-
whelming, but theres a simple trick to choosing the
right spool: the larger number of strands, the more
fexible the wire will be. A long elegant crystal necklace
may require maximum fexibility for it to drape correctly
when worn, while a short choker with chunky gem-
stones may require less.
U.S.-made Beadalon offers three choices of strong
nylon-coated wire. Beadalon 49, the choice of profes-
sional jewelry designers, has the most fexibility, while
economically priced Beadalon 7 has the least. If youre
not sure how much fexibility your design needs, Bead-
alon 19 is a good choice with its perfect combination of
strength, fexibility, and affordability. Once youve cho-
sen the type of wire, choose the largest diameter wire
possible that will ft through the smallest bead hole in
your design. Try .010 beading wire for tiny, lightweight
seed beads and .036 for heavy gemstones and large
glass beads.

ings such as EZ-Crimps, Wire Guardians, and Bead
Bumpers, visit www.beadalon.com.

Miyukis Duracoat Galvanized

beads solve that


annoying problem of a fnish that quickly wears off
or fades. Duracoat

is an extra-durable coating on the


beads surface. As with any delicate glass beads, these
beads still require gentle care, but now they are suit-
able for use in jewelry that is worn, not only museum-
quality pieces that must be admired from afar.
Delicas in size 8 and 10 with the Duracoat

fnish will
be available this spring. Additional bead shapes such
as magatamas, drops, and squares will be added in
the future. Keep up with the latest news at
www.miyuki-beads.co.jp/english.
Indulge in Everyday
Luxury with 100%
PURE SILK CORDS
Pearl knotting on silk is a classic jewelry-making tech-
nique thats often reserved for special occasions. Why
limit yourself? Try knotting this durable and stretch-
resistant 100% pure silk cord in between small gem-
stones or delicate crystals for everyday bracelets or
necklaces. Snug the beads against the knots or leave
longer gaps between the knots to show off the vibrant
colors of these twisted three-ply cords.
Choose from classic black and white cords in ten sizes
(00, 0, A, B, C, D, E, F, FF, FFF) or sixteen colors in sizes
E, F, FF, and FFF. The cord comes in ounce spools or
on cards. Colors include a range of gemstone-inspired
tones including amethyst, turquoise, and jade. Match
the silk cord to your favorite beads for a unifed look
or choose a contrasting hue to add an unexpected
pop of color.
This luxuriously smooth pure silk cord feels lightweight
and comfortable, making it the perfect base for warm-
weather jewelry. Find a bead shop near you at

Add Drama to
Your Jewelry with
SWAROVSKI FLAT
BACKS
With the touch of an iron or heat-setting tool, you can
affx Swarovski Flat Back Hotfx onto many different
types of fabric, including wool, cotton, linen, Lycra, silk,
and denim. The fat back of the crystal has a layer of
hot-melt adhesive that bonds with the fabric. Its easy
to add crystals to ribbons for springtime bracelets and
necklaces, but dont stop there. Using a two-part epoxy
for the best bond, glue Swarovski Flat Back No Hotfx
to metal pendants, fat-glass cabochons, shell discs,
wooden pendants, resin beads, or almost any other
surface you desire. You could attach individual Flat
Backs in Capri Blue to a metal cuff for an ocean-
inspired bracelet or add tiny SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS
in Sunfower inside earring bezels. Another idea is to
attach a large Flat Back to ultrasuede and surround
it with brick stitch to create a dramatic custom focal.
Swarovski Flat Backs come in a huge range of colors,
sizes, and cuts, including a beautiful butterfy perfect
for spring jewelry. For more inspiration, visit

Passing through beads a second time
and keeping your stitching tight will
help form the subtle domed shapes
of the components in this project.
1) FIRST COMPONENT. Use tight
tension to herringbone-stitch a slightly
domed component:
Round 1: Use 2' of thread to string 4A,
pass through all the beads again to
form a circle, and exit through the
second A strung, leaving a 4" tail to
weave in later.
Round 2: String 2A and pass through the
next A from the previous round;
repeat three times. Step up for the
next and subsequent rounds by pass-
ing up through the first A added in
the round. Adjust the beads so the
holes sit above the ones below to begin
the herringbone-stitched rib (Fig. 1).

1) MEDALLION TOP. Stitch the small
filigree to Ultrasuede and embellish it:
Attach: Layer the 30mm filigree flower,
a 4040mm piece of Ultrasuede, and
the beading foundation, taking care to
center all three. Tie a thick knot at the
end of 3' of thread and place a needle
at the other end. Pass up through the
foundation, Ultrasuede, and inside
one of the edges of the flower. Pass
over the edge of the flower and pass
down through the Ultrasuede and
foundation. Continue around the
flower, and pass down tacking the
filigree edges to the Ultrasuede and
foundation. Stitch through the foun-
dation to exit up through an opening
in the filigree near its center.
Center embellishment: String 2I and slide
them to the flower; lay the beads down
so they fill the filigree opening and
stitch down through the fabric layers.
Pass up through the layers to exit up
through another opening in the fili-
gree. Continue to fill the center
openings of the flower with I. Repeat
with C and A to fill the outer petals of
the flower in a pleasing design (Fig. 1).
Note: Use less, rather than more, beads
so they lie flat in the given space.
Stitch through the foundation to exit
from the outside edge of the filigree.
Outline: String 4I, slide them to the fab-
ric, and lay them along the filigrees
edge. Pass down through the layers
next to the last I strung. Pass up
through the layers between the second
and third beads just added, then pass
through the third and fourth I just
added. String 2I, slide them to the
fabric, lay them along the filigree
edge, pass down through the layers
next to the last I strung, and up
through the 2I just added (Fig. 2);
repeat, working backstitch bead
embroidery with I around three petals
of the flower. On the fourth petal,
work backstitch bead embroidery with
C. Continue using I on petals 57,
then C on the eighth petal. Stitch
through the foundation to exit
between a C and an I on the fourth
petal.
Fringe: String 1D and 1A, then pass back
through the D to form a fringe; repeat
on the other side of the fourth petal
and on each side of the eighth petal

If you have trouble stitching the
medallion to the large filigree, try
using a short beading needle. It may
help you get closer to the opening in
the filigree. If you have trouble getting
through the seed pearls, use a smaller
needle, such as a size 12 or 13.

for a total of 4 fringes (Fig. 3). Secure
and trim the thread on the
fabric back.
2) FOCAL ASSEMBLY. Finish the
necklaces centerpiece:
Prepare backing: Carefully trim the Ultra-
suede to " from the pearl outline on
the medallion top. Take care to avoid
clipping any stitches. Turn the piece
over and trim the beading foundation
to
1
8" inside the Ultrasuedes edge.
Trace the outline of the Ultrasuede
onto another 4040mm piece of
Ultrasuede and trim along the line.
This is the medallions backing.
Picot edging: Place the medallion top, fil-
igree side up, on top of the backing.
Secure a 3' thread onto the backing
and sew through the medallion top,
very near the edge. String 3B; pass
through the backing and medallion
top, one beads width from the last
stitch. Pass back through the last bead
strung. String 2B, pass through the
backing and medallion top (one beads
width from the last stitch), and back
through the last B added; repeat
around the backing to finish the
medallion (Fig. 4). For the last stitch,
add 1B, pass down through the first B
added in this section, and weave
through the backing (Fig. 5). Secure
the thread and trim.
Finishing: Secure a 3' thread onto the
back of the medallion near the center.
Tack the medallion to the 50mm fili-
gree through the middle opening in
several places, reinforcing the stitches.
Secure the thread and trim.
3) NECKLACE ASSEMBLY. Form a
chain to hang the focal piece:
Connectors: Use 2" of craft wire to form a
wrapped loop that attaches to the
upper-left side of the large filigree.
String 1G, 1 bead cap (narrow end
first), 1J, 1 bead cap (wide end first),
and 1G; form a wrapped loop that
connects to the narrow end of 1 fili-
gree connector. Repeat this section to
add the other filigree connector to the
upper-right side of the large filigree.
Decorative chain: Use 1 jump ring to
attach 2" of chain to the large filigree
in the opening just below the wrapped
loop on the upper-left side. Use 1 jump
ring to connect the other end of the
chain to the upper-left side of the fili-
gree connector. Repeat this section to
add another 2" chain to the upper-
right side of the large filigree and fili-
gree connector. Set the assembly aside.
Toggle bar: Use the head pin to string
1A and the toggle bar (front to back);
form a wrapped loop. Set aside.
Bead chain: Use 10" of beading wire to
string 1 crimp tube; pass through the
upper-left side of one filigree connec-
tor, then pass back through the tube
and crimp. Repeat to attach a second
10" piece of beading wire to the
upper-right side of the same filigree
connector. Use the left beading wire
to string 2 brass 3mm beads (to cover
crimps), {1H, 1 bead cap (narrow end
first), 1J, 1 bead cap (wide end first),
1F, 1E, 1F} twice using G in place of F
the second time, and 3A; repeat with
the right beading wire. Use both
strands to string {1H, 1 spacer, 1J,
1 spacer, 1F, 1E, 1F} twice. Use both
wires to string 1 crimp tube and the
wrapped loop of the toggle bar; pass
back through the tube and crimp.
Repeat entire section using the right
filigree connector and toggle ring.

Repeat this section three times to form
4 inner petals. Weave through beads to
exit from Round 1 of the bezel.
5) CENTER EMBELLISHMENT. String
1C, 1H, and 1C; pass back through the
H. String 1C and pass through the next
F in Round 1 of the bezel. String 1A, 1C,
and 1A; pass through the next F in
Round 1 (Fig. 6). Repeat this section
around the bezel for a total of 8 fringes
and 8 picots. Weave through beads to
exit 1A in Round 5.
6) BAIL. Peyote-stitch a bail to the back
of the flower:
Row 1: String 1B and pass through the
next A in Round 5 of the bezel; repeat
three times (Fig. 7green thread).
Row 2: String 1B and pass back through
the last A added in Row 1 of the bail;
repeat three times (Fig. 7blue thread).
Rows 316: Repeat Row 2 fourteen times
(Fig. 7red thread).
Zip: Lay the beadworked strip across the
back of the stone. Match the beads of
Row 16 to those of the bezels Round 5
so they interlock like a zipper. Weave
through the beads of both Row 16 and
Round 5 to form a seamless join
(Fig. 8). Pass through all the beads
added in this step again to reinforce.
Secure the thread and trim.
7) FINISHING. Cut a 9" length of wire
and place a piece of tape 1" from the tip;
repeat three times. On each wire, string
H, J, K, and L in random patterns using
half of the beads needed for the desired
length of the band, then string 12B on
each wire. Gather the open wire ends
and string the flowers bail, centering it
on the Bs just strung. Separate the wires
again and string H, J, K, and L in ran-
dom order on each wire to form the
other half of the band. Use 1 crimp tube
to connect each wire end to half of the
clasp; repeat with the remaining 3 wires,
placing 2 wires on each clasp loop.
Remove the tape from the other wire
ends and use crimp tubes to connect to
the other clasp half. Add the crimp
covers to every 2 crimps.

gatherings
Michelle Mach
L
ongtime Portland Bead Soci-
ety member Carol Perrenoud
recalls the groups first meeting
back in 1988. It was standing
room only. We didnt know so many
people cared about beads. Now that
this Oregon group has grown to about
400 members, she says that its unusual
to have fewer than 100 people at their
meetings, most of which feature nation-
ally recognized speakers, such as Valerie
Hector, Gail Crosman Moore, and
Sharilyn Miller.
Access to inspiring speakers is just
one benefit. Members can apply for
education grants to fund bead classes
or borrow from a library of 1,300 books,
magazines, videos, and DVDs housed
at a local bead shop. They can attend
the groups annual retreat or compete
in its bead challenge. Last year, the
society sponsored a traveling display
of its members beadwork that rotated
to area libraries.
From her booth at the societys annual
bead show, Bobbye Brown shows off
a colorful display of beadwork from
around the world.
Carol Perrenoud took first place
with her whimsical purse in the
2010 Margaret Scovil beaded bag
competition held at the societys
annual retreat.
The society purchased Jennifer Gallaghers
Sweet Glass Basket through funds raised
for its museum gift program. The piece
will go to the Bead Museum in Glendale,
Arizona. (You can see more of Jennifers
work on page 40.)
PORTLAND BEAD SOCIETY
To raise money for its activities,
the organization hosts a two-day bead
show each November, attracting more
than 75 vendors and 1,200 shoppers.
A second annual show, Art and Ele-
gance in Beads, gives members a venue
for selling their finished work. This
show is held jointly with other guilds in
the area, but the societys support for
the creative community doesnt stop
there. They also purchase beadwork for
Portlands Museum of Contemporary
Craft and the Bead Museum in
Glendale, Arizona.
Not surprisingly, members gener-
ously share their beading skills. One
member, Bobbye Brown, aka The Bead
Lady, regularly visits schools, shelters,
and childrens groups, using beads as a
way to educate people about history and
geography. Others volunteer to teach
classes at the childrens hospital and
homeless shelters.
For one member joining the Port-
land Bead Society was a life-changing
event. When Teresa Sullivan joined
nearly twenty years ago, she was mainly
interested in trade beads and their his-
tory. But exposure to seed-bead artists,
such as David Chatt and Joyce Scott
helped develop her interest in bead-
weaving. Now, Teresa teaches and
exhibits internationally, her interest in
beads transformed from a sideline to a
full-time career.
Society President Karen Bettin notes
that with so much going on the chal-
lenge for members is keeping a balance
between helping out with these wonder-
ful activities and still having time to do
what we love: bead.

BEAD EMBROI DERY
For single stitch embroidery, begin by passing
the needle through the fabric, from wrong side to
right side, at the place where the first bead is to go.
String a bead and pass the needle back through the
fabric right next to the bead. Pass the needle back
through the fabric where the next bead is to go,
string 1 bead and pass back down through the
fabric. Continue. Note: Use bugle beads between
2 seed beads to protect the thread from the sharp
edges on bugle beads and single-stitch as one bead.
TENS I ON BEAD
A tension bead (or stopper bead) holds your work
in place. To make one, string a bead larger than
those you are working with, then pass through the
bead one or more times,
making sure not to split the
thread. The bead will be able to
slide along but will still provide
tension to work against when
beading the first two rows.
F RI NGE
Exit from the foundation row of beads or fabric.
String a length of beads plus 1 bead. Skipping the
last bead, pass back through all the beads just
strung to create a fringe leg. Pass back into the
foundation row or fabric.
WI REWORKI NG
To form a simple loop, use flat-nose pli-
ers to make a 90 bend at least " from
the end of the wire. Use round-nose pli-
ers to grasp the wire at the tip; roll the pli-
ers toward the bend, but not past it, to
preserve the 90 bend. Adjust the pliers as
needed to continue the wrap around the nose of the
pliers. Trim the wire next to the bend. Open a sim-
ple loop just as you would a jump ring (see below).
To form a wrapped loop, begin with a 90 bend
at least 2" from the end of the wire. Use round-
nose pliers to form a simple loop with a tail over-
lapping the bend. Wrap the tail tightly down the
neck of the wire two or three times. Trim the
excess wire to finish. Make a thicker, heavier-
looking wrapped loop by wrapping the wire back
up over the coils, toward the loop, and trimming
at the loop.
To open a jump ring, grasp each side of its open-
ing with a pair of pliers. Dont pull apart. Instead,
twist in opposite directions so that you can open
and close without distorting the shape.
HAL F- HI TCH KNOT
Half-hitch knots may be worked with two or more
strandsone strand is knotted over one or more
other strands. Form a loop around the cord(s),
pull the end through the loop just formed, and
pull tight. Repeat for the length of cord you want
to cover.
OVERHAND KNOT
The overhand knot is the basic knot for tying
off thread. Make a loop with the stringing
material. Pass the cord that lies behind the loop
over the front cord and through the loop.
Pull tight.
S QUARE KNOT
The square knot is the classic sturdy knot for
securing most stringing materials. First make an
overhand knot, passing the right end over the left
end. Next, make another overhand knot, this time
passing the left end over the right end. Pull tight.
S URGEON S KNOT
The surgeons knot is very secure and therefore
good for finishing off most stringing materials.
Tie an overhand knot, right over left, but instead
of one twist over the left cord, make at least two.
Tie another overhand knot, left over right, and
pull tight.
GLUI NG
Place a sparing amount of glue on knots to secure
them (we recommend G-S Hypo Cement or clear
nail polish) or use enough glue to completely
