Materials Required:

• A thick thread

Method:

Step 1:

First of all wrap the thread around the ring or the bracelet, like you wish and secure it on the top with the knot in the form of a loop. Here, you will be using the thicker thread. You can use the thread of any color you like. So basically, this step is called Wrapping as you will be wrapping the thread around your ring or bracelet.

Step 2:

Now, the next step is called looping. For this, you will use the thinner threads. You can start whichever position you wish and with the help of needles, start making loops around the ring by securing everything with a strong knot. You can make a heptangular, octangular and rectangular shape, as per your wish and space in between of the ring.

Step 3:

You will continue making the loops now, but now it will be with the help of the primary loops. Since you made the loops already, the second round of loops will begin from the center of the primary loops. Continue making the loops the third as well as fourth level.

Step 4:

When you finally get to the innermost level, give it a circular form with the loop and weave in some beads in it which will coordinate with the length and color of the threads.

Step 5:

Fasten everything properly with the help of knots and threads.

Step 6:

Now, take the thicker threads and weave in beads and feathers in it. You can use the thinner thread to tie up the feathers from the stick.

Step 7:

Now, you tie the feathers and beaded thread with the ring or the loop.
