10 The beads will slide up as needed.
11 "Tie a sliding clasp around the middle thread and glue the ends around the back with Power Glue.
Place the middle thread in parallel and knot with an extra piece of thread over the two threads."
12 Cut the ends to approx. 1 cm.
13 They are melted one by one with a lighter and immediately pulled down into the knotted piece using e.g. the tip of a pair of scissors, so that they melt together.
14 Or add beads to the two ends and finish it off with a small knot. Glue with Power Glue
Earrings: Thread beads onto the embroidery yarn. Make a bead path/pattern to the middle, fold the embroidery yarn, and repeat the same pattern on the other half so that the two halves are the same.
16 Do not put beads in the middle, to allow the earring to hang nicely in the ear hanger.
17 Attach pegs under each bead line, leaving a gap of approx. 1 cm. The embroidery yarn must be underneath the peg and split the embroidery yarn at the ends into small tassels.
18 Attach the ear hanger.
19 It is important to avoid putting beads in the middle! If the beads are too tight, the two bead threads will stick out and not fall nicely when the ear hanger is inserted.
