String strap.
To make the belt I propose will be needed around 25 meters of a fairly stiff string with a smooth surface, nails, Klameter or two metal circles, Colorful beads (preferably wooden), scissors, tailor.
String strap: a, b, c) Different ways to fix the strings, d) Tieing side threads into bundles.
For the basic thread, fixed in any way (drawing) or tie two threads for a metal circle 4 m, in half. The method of binding the loop for the basic thread or the circle shows the drawing – a, b, c (The number of pairs of threads depends on the thickness of the string and the width of the pattern). The simplest knot to make the belt is a flat node – The method of its binding is shown in the drawing.
How to make a flat node.
In addition to flat nodes, the pattern can be enriched with nodes on the middle threads or with beads or both (drawing).
Decorating: a) knots on the middle threads, b) flat nodes, c) nodes and beads.
You can end the final binding threads for binding with beads. Knowing the method of binding a flat node, You can make any number (drawing – a, b), Inlapping them with beads or knots (drawing – c). To facilitate the bond of flat nodes, the side threads tie bunches.
