Crow Loop Necklace - directions
Materials List: 2 1 x 17" loom strips 4 1 x 18" leather strips 17
36" Leather cording ( 2 mm) 2 9" Leather cording ( 2 mm) 2 Abalone or conch
disc ( 1 1/4") 704 5 mm White clam shell hishi 64 5 mm Black cocoa shell
hishi 19 5 mm black olive shell hishi 4 1" tin cones Leather hole
puncher
Instructions:
1.) Take 2 of the leather strips and punch holes in each strip starting 1
½" from the top at 1" intervals for 15 hole on both sides of the strip about
3/4 of an inch in from the edge.
2.) Starting with the top hole thread a 36" Leather cording through the 15
holes. Knot the end so it will not pull through. Follow the pattern below:
Row 1 - 10 white clam, 2 Black cocoa, 1 black olive, 10 white clam
Thread it cording through the other strip hole then knot the end.
Do the same pattern for the next 14 rows only increase the white clam shell
hishi by 2 for each row ( example)
Row 2 - 12 White clam, 2 Black cocoa, 1 black olive, 12 White clam
Row 3 - 14 white clam, 2 Black cocoa, 1 black olive, 14 white clam
On the last row you should have: 38 white clam, 2 black cocoa, 1 black
olive, 38 white clam
3.) After you finish the last row, sew the loom strips 1" from the top of
the strip onto each the leather strip ( this will cover the leather cording)
4.) Now punch another hole in the center of the top in the strip 3/4" in
from the end. Then thread one of the other 2 remaining 36" leather cording to
the ends and knot to secure.
5.)
Punch two holes between the tie and the top of the loom strip the width of
the holes in the 1 ½" disk. Attach the disk with the 9" leather cording.
Thread a hishi of each color in each cord then thread the tin cone ( small end
first) and knot the end. Slide the cord up into the cone.
6.) After this is done, sew or glue the other 2 remaining leather strips to
the back of the loomed strips for a backing to cover everything. Another
way to do this is to use a 16 hole spacer. You would use the top hole for the
neck cording ties.
