Things You'll Need: •Suede cord 1/8mm wide •Wax cord •Metal ring •9mm pony beads •Craft feathers •Crafters glue •Scissors •Cloths pins or Alligator clips
1. Wrap suede cord around metal ring a few times. Place a drop of glue on ring, then put the end of cord on the glue, using a cloths pin to hold cord in place. Continue wrapping cord around ring, stopping to pull cord tight and glue it down every few inches. Be sure not to twist cord. Cut cord when you get back to the start. Glue & clap down with cloths pin until it is dry
2. Knot the end of the wax cord onto the ring. Hold the wax cord on ring about 1 inch from your first knot. Loop strand over the top & thru the length of cord between first knot & were you are holding it.
3.Do the same with the second section, knotting cord about 1 inch from second knot. (It may look funny now because the wax cord runs right next to the suede cord, but you'll get more space as you go along with the web.)
4. Continue looping the wax cord around the ring. Place last loop knot about 1/2 inch from original knot
5. You now want to loop the strand of wax cord in between the very first knot & second knot you made on the ring.
6. Continue knotting the strand of wax cord in between the knots on the previous row. Keep the knots at the center of the section, so it all pulls evenly into the center.
7. When your get back to the start of the second row knot the strand onto the second roll. (The first row of cord gets knotted onto the ring, the second row gets knotted onto the first row, the third row gets knotted on the second row, and so on.)
8. Continue knotting cord until you get near the center. (It gets harder to find space to knot cord the closer you get to middle, so stop the web were you want.) End the web by putting a couple regular sewing knots on strand, cutting off the extra.
