Directions:You’ll begin by cutting an arm’s length of thread. Fold this thread in half and insert the top loop of this thread into the middle of the washer. Draw the tail of the thread through the loop forming a connection. You will have a double length to use for wrapping, rather than a single thread.
Hold the washer with one hand and carefully begin binding the washer. You will want to bind it smoothly and evenly. To bind, insert the end of the thread into the middle of the washer, pulling it out tightly, laying this double thread smoothly across the surface of the washer and continuing in this way all the way around the washer until it was completely covered.
I found the best technique for binding was to hold the washer in my left hand, holding the already bound thread in place with my fingers, while using my right hand to do the binding. If you are right handed, reverse this. By looping the thread into the middle, I found that I could see the binding best and keep it the most even.
Those are the universal steps for both necklaces, but now we move into specific steps for each. We’ll start with the BIG necklace.
Continue to bind the washer until it is completely covered and tie off the final thread but do not cut the end. Bind as many washers as desired, finishing them all in the same way.
Once all the washers have been neatly bound and tied, you’ll attach them. Carefully clip the cord of one of the two disks, but leave the other tail long. Use that long thread to tie the two together, then wrap the thread through both holes three times, and end by tying a knot and clipping the excess — keep the knot on the back side of the washer.
