Nodules for memory




You will need: 2 token rings (Buttinette), small ring, 4 waxed ribbons 60 cm long (Rayher), tailor pins, scissors, a piece of styrofoam for fixing the threads.
STEP 1 Tie 3 tapes from one end to the token ring. Pin the 4th tape under the knot with a pin 6.5 cm below the knot. Draw the bottom ribbon (red) under the ribbons.
STEP 2 Now tie the 3 remaining ribbons (black) alternately with the lower ribbon (red) and the upper ribbon (blue) as shown.
STEP 3 Tie the ends of the ribbons (red and blue) to form a knot. Repeat the operation until approx. 10 knots. Then insert the ring. Tie the knot again.
Guest from the future




You will need: bugles, clasp bead, waxed tape (Rayher), thread (Coats), sewing needle, scissors, pencil.
STEP 1 Cut 2 pieces from the tape (45 cm long), tie the ends of the tapes to a pencil and cut the long ends of the pieces of tape.
STEP 2 Sew the bugles between the pieces of tape, while inserting the needle into one piece of tape, string the beads on the thread and pull the needle through another piece of tape.
STEP 3 Sew so much bugles so that the length of the bracelet matches the girth of the wrist (approx. 16.5 cm). Tie the ends of the pieces of tape in knots, sew an asterisk over the knots.
Silver beads




You will need: silver beads, threads for sewing and embroidery, 2 cardboard rectangles, scissors, a needle for sewing, tailor pins, a piece of styrofoam.
STEP 1 Cut the pieces (3 x 60 cm) from the embroidery threads, tie them at one end and pin them to a piece of styrofoam. Now weave a pigtail of approx. 3.5 cm
STEP 2 Thread ends around both cardboard rectangles. String a silver bead onto the middle thread.
STEP 3 Tie the threads, string the bead. Repeat the operation until the bracelet is approx. 15 cm. Having strung each bead, tie the threads. Pigtail (step 1) shape the loop.
