Quick Project Steps

Begin by securing the Chinese Knotting Cord with a rubber stopper bead, leaving room for adjustment.
Create a base knot and then prepare the cord for macrame by folding it over and securing it to the base cords.
Utilize the macrame knot technique, alternating the direction of knots to maintain a flat design.
Introduce beads into the pattern, either pre-loading them onto the central cord or adding them as you go along the outer cords.
Continue the pattern, ensuring consistent spacing between beads and knots for a uniform appearance.
To finish, tie a final knot with all cords, trim excess cord, and secure the ends. Adjust the rubber stopper bead for size and add beads at the ends if desired.

I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
