How to do it
1 Fold the cord around the coconut ring and the waxed cord and tie around with an Albright knot.
Albright knot:
Fold the cord as shown and twist it round and in through the loop. Pull the cord on the right and the loop will lock.
2 Attach the swivel clasp and lace as shown previously.
3 Finish with a loop and twist waxed cord around.
4 Assemble the rings with waxed cord. Tie them on the back.
5 Make a tassel in the ring. Tie again with an Albright knot. Remember the small pendant at the last twist.
6 This is what the fastener looks like. The ring serves as a button.
A Button Necklace -
1 Cut two pieces of waxed cord each measuring 120cm. Weave in and out around the buttons as shown.
2 Pull the cord so that the buttons are overlapping. Change to smaller buttons up the side.
3 When the necklace is long enough to go over your head, tie a double knot to secure. Tie knots in each cord end.
