To start, cut a circle about 20cm in diameter from rigid cardboard, then make a hole about 2cm in the center.

With a pen, draw 2 perpendicular lines crossing. Draw 2 more perpendicular lines in the intervals. You thus get 8 marks.

Make notches on the edge of the circle on the 8 marks. And to facilitate assembly, number the marks from 1 to 8 clockwise.

Cut 7 linhasita cords of thread. Here we cut 6 colored cords at 0.5mm and 1 golden cord at 1mm. This will allow us to obtain a 4mm diameter cord matching our supports.

You can also adapt this technique with more threads for a wider cord. For that, just make more notches in the support.

Tie a knot with the cords to join them then pass the knot through the central hole of the support. Then place the cords in the notches following the numbers.

Start braiding... Take cord number 3 then place it in the empty notch to the left. You will always take the 3rd cord to the right after the empty notch.

Continue with the 3rd cord to the right after the empty space, number 6 which you bring to the left into the empty notch. Then number 1, number 4, number 7...

Be sure to keep your threads taut throughout the assembly.

You will gradually see the braid forming on the back of the support.

Once the desired length is reached, remove the braid from the support then thread the metal beads onto the cord.

On the central bead, place the pendant with a ring passed through the bead's hole.

Tie a knot with the cords to lock the braid then cut the threads.

Put glue in the end caps then insert the cords.

To finish, place the clasp and the extension chain with 4mm rings.

And there you go! Beautiful creation!
