- Instructions
-
-
Start by cutting a 14-inch length of cording (28-inch if you plan to tie spacing knots between the items you'll be stringing on) and tie a lanyard hook to one end.
-
Make a few tight coils out of the craft wire. For each one, wrap a 1-foot wire around a pencil.
-
Slide the coil off of the pencil's pointed end and use pliers to turn the wire ends toward the inside of the coil.
-
Thread the coils and hardware onto the cording. Then knot the end of the cord into a loop.
-
- Tips:
- When choosing wire, remember that the higher the gauge, the thinner the wire.
