Easy
- Run on the tying thread and build up turns to lock the bead in place.
- Cut the woven edge from a length of ribbon and strip out the fibres that run along the ribbon.
- Tie in the fibres by the middle on top of the hook behind the bead.
- Fold the forward fibres under the hook and tie down all the fibres back to the bend. Trim to length to form the tail.
- Cut the short fibres from a hook length of the stripped ribbon leaving just the woven edge to form a tying tag, catch in at the bend and tie in up to the back of the bead.
- Wind the ribbon in touching turns to the bead, tie in and trim off the waste.
- Wind a collar of thread against the bead, whip finish and varnish.
