With a BIG "Thank you!" to Bonnie
Brooks for teaching us this fringe!
These directions are for righties so lefties need to reverse them!
Place enough beads on the thread to equal twice the length of the fringe
you desire. Measure the beads, don't count!
Lay the purse down and grasp the thread next to the beads between the
thumb and forefinger of your right hand. Twist the thread away from your
body by sliding your thumb up your forefinger.
Here comes the secret to successful Twisted Fringe!
To reposition your grip hold the thread tightly
with the left hand. Repeat the motions until the thread is twisting back
on itself.
Fold the beads in half, placing the thread next to the bead where the
it exited the purse. The fringe will start to twist and you can assist it
with your free hand if necessary. Pass the needle through the next bead,
adding a small knot to stabilize the fringe.
Repeat for each strand of twisted fringe.! |
