Beaded Triangle Pendant

You’ll need:

– seed beads – these are 1.8mm glass cube beads made by Miyuki
– beading thread – I used black 00 nymo – if your thread clashes with your beads you’ll also want a bead colored permanent ink pen
– chain or cord with a diameter equal to or less than the size of seed bead (so it fits through a one-bead sized hole
– jump rings and clasp for your chain

Braided Dog Toy

braided dog toy FEMN83UFEK9QBO5.LARGE

You’ll need:

Rope: At least 10.5 feet of 3/8″ diamond braid rope — about 4.5′ for the monkey fist knot and 3 feet (X2) for the braid on each end. It’s better to start with a much longer piece of rope, tie/position the monkey fist knot, and then trim off the long side. Also, forming the monkey first takes more rope (~6′), which is then tightened down to 4.5′.

Scissors or a sharp knife to cut the rope (Be carefull!)

Lighter to melt the rope ends, to prevent fraying.
