Illustrated tutorial on the DIY hand-making method of tassels on Chinese knots.
First prepare the following materials:
Prepare four equal amounts of string, each about 35cm long, with knots at both ends. The picture shows that I have made two jade knots and threaded a bead on the tassel hanging thread. I used No. 5 jade thread to hang the thread. I tied a knot at the other end of the jade thread with beads and named it B. end.
Arrange the four ropes in a tic-tac-toe shape, and then insert the rope ends of the pendant. Then find a mold with a suitable length. Note here that there should be enough margin to wrap the tassel. Please continue to read the tutorial for details. It means everyone is having so much fun 0 0~~~~~
The previous step was a big chrysanthemum - I forgot to deal with it. . . . . Then the third step is to peel off the tassel thread [roughly], then hold one end with your hands and cut the other end of the coil.
Use the auspicious knot method to braid to the required length. The fourth step is to spread the tassel thread on your hands, separate it in half as much as possible and ensure that the lower ends are about the same length. I used a small part of the red thread , it will look clearer.
The fifth step is to insert the B end of the front jade line into the middle of the tassel line.
Step 6: Arrange the tassel line. Now the tassel line should wrap around the b end of the jade line in the middle. Beads and jade knots should also be hidden inside the thread
Step 7: Tie the tassel thread and the jade thread together so that you have me and I have you. The length of this tie is basically what you will do next. The length of the fringe head.
I found out that I was really cruel. . . . Everyone can be gentler.
Step 8: Turn the tied semi-finished tassel upside down, with the beads and jade knot facing upwards, and patiently arrange your tassel.
Step 9, the tassel in your hand should now be a solid, full, and chubby tassel. There is still one last step left to wrap the thread.
Bend the fishing line in a circle, pinch it together with the tassel head, and let the lower end follow the tassel line. Wrap the line from bottom to top, insert the fish coil into it when it reaches the top, and pull the fishing line from the bottom to fix it. It is recommended to wrap it tightly. [This step is the same as Yan Meiren’s tassel tutorial. 】
Finally, cut the ends neatly and decorate them on strings. I used a flat knot.

The next step is the jade knot tutorial.
The secret to neat knotting is that the upper and lower threads of the jade knot [seem] to be in the center. If you keep the two threads in the center of the knot, you will basically not go wrong. .
