STEP 3
Cut the 22 metre long brown silk thread into 2 equal halves, place them side by side and fold it in half.

Thread through the big eye needle with the U-shaped end of the silk threads, then form a loop by folding the U-shape end towards the needle.

TIPS
Position the nugget so that it sits nicely beside the previous one. Support the back of the nuggets with your index finger while pulling the loose ends to tighten the silk thread loop.

Make sure that the leather cords are perpendicular to the top of the clipboard with firm tension while you pull the loose ends of the silk thread. Otherwise you will get a "smiling" bracelet.

Top: proper tension. Bottom: improper tension = "smiling" bracelet.

Proper tension.

If the threads get messed up, part the 2 leather cords and loosen the loop of the silk threads and re-tighten them.

If they are just slightly messed up, sometimes, they can be neatened by turning the nuggets in the correct direction.

STEP 7
Once you have finished threading all 282 nuggets, end the leather cords with an overhand knot. The space between the first and second knot should be approximately 15mm. The length of the bracelet should be approximately 32 inches, measuring from the back of the button to the end of the first knot.
