1. Disassembly: There is a dead knot in the T-joint (that is, the gourd head with a pendant and the big ball at the lower part). Pull the rope, pull the knot out of the T-joint, and cut it with scissors.
2. Reduce or replace beads:
This step involves removing all the beads from the elastic rope and stringing them back in order. When taking pearls, be careful not to completely pull the whole rope out of the T-knot when disassembling the T-knot, because the rope is in the T-knot and wound around the rope of the pendant. If you pull the rope out, you need to hang the pendant again, which is very troublesome. Therefore, it should be noted that one end of the elastic rope passes through the service hole when disassembling the beads. When removing beads, it is best not to move this end.
After removing the beads, just put them back according to the instructions. Generally, 108 means that 27 beads are separated by one bead, and there is a ***4 segment. 2 16 beads are 54 beads. After threading the thread, directly tie the knot twice with the other end of the elastic rope (dead knot), cut off the extra thread (2 mm is enough), and then burn the thread slightly with a lighter, so that the thread will not grow long.
Finally, pull the fast knot back into the hole of the tee. Adjust the tightness of the main part of the bead and you're done.
Tip: The skill of using elastic rope beads is to fold the prepared steel wire in half and then thread the elastic rope into the beeswax. The steps are as follows: the elastic rope is covered with a layer of soft chemical fiber cotton. Pull by hand, nap, and pull out about 1cm. Cut off the extra white core inside, then burn the pulled part quickly with a lighter, gently knead the melted part by hand, rub it, and fuse the pulled part together to form a small tip. At this time, a folded steel wire can be used to pass through. The following process is to pull the elastic rope beads with steel wires.
3. Pick up the pendant:
If the whole bead needs to be reconnected, then the last step besides beading is to connect the pendant (making the pendant is a bit troublesome, but generally speaking, the pendant will not break, so I omit this process).
After the elastic rope opened the beads, he pulled the elastic rope out of the tee. At this time, he saw that the pendant was a rope with three beads at both ends, which was made of jade thread and had no elasticity.
Method:
First, fold the pendant in half, so that one end is a bead and the other end is the folded end of the jade thread.
Insert one end of the jade wire into the hole at the top of the tee, use a steel wire to take one end of the main part of the bead, pass it through the hole on the side of the tee-pass through the pendant-pass it out and connect it with the other end twice (fast knot)-tighten it-cut off the excess wire (2 mm is enough), and then burn the wire slightly with a lighter, so that it will not be hairy.
Finally, pull the fast knot back into the hole of the tee. Adjust the tightness of the main part of the bead and you're done.
