How to : Snake knot chain

 Let’s see how to make this “snake knot chain”. It allows you to attach a doll to your bag!

The lengths here are simple indications. Of course you can arrange yours as you need.

Run a cord through the open jump ring as shown. (Here I used a nylon red chinese knotting cord/0.5mm)

Run the double tip end through the loop end as shown.

Now tighten up!
Next, we can start the snake knot by looping one of the strings (eg. the right one) around the other.

Now we take the loose tip, pass it under the other end, and feed it in the previous loop :

Close up on the result of these two loop steps, once tightened up :

And we do it again!

Repeat until 1.8cm.

Then run a bead through ( used 1cm dia bead here. )

Continue making this “snake knot” until you reach 11cm (here above I am not finished so it’s not 11cm yet).

Burn the tips with a lighter to harden them and prevent them from fraying.

Run the end of the strings through the crimp stopper.

Pull it up.

Then run the end of the strings through the lobster clasp.

Now run the end of the strings through the crimp stopper again.

Pull the cord tightly.

Close the crimp stopper tightly, using a flat nose pliers.

Cut the excess cord.

Burn the cut location with a lighter to keep it firm.

Done!

How to embroider with a sewing machine

First pick your hoop : there are several sizes, so choose small or big depending on the size what you will embroider. Here I chose a small hoop. Instead of locking in your fabric, lock in embroidery sheet as shown. Cut it off in the middle to allow enough room for your embroidery design. Line the edges with double-sided tape.

If you don’t have embroidery sheet you can also use :

  • a non-stretch plastic sheet
  • cut a paper bag and scotch-tape
  • firm paper or firm sheet

Stick on stabilizer to cover the part of the fabric where you will embroider. It is a little difficult to see, but roughly I put the stabilizer in the red square. Make sure that hooping is firmly locked and the sheet is well pulled. If the sheet is loose the result won’t be so good.

Peel off the other side of the double sided tape and stick on the fabric (where you put the stabilizer).

Set the hoop in your machine and start following your embroidery machine’s instructions.

Its done!
