I thought it would be a killer but actually it is pretty easy. Pass a diagonal from top left to bottom right over the front, take it round the back and go top right to bottom left and so on. Be careful to lay them side by side as you go and they will naturally weave. this works for say 4 or 5 passes before the ring gets in the way and the front face (for want of a better term) runs out of room. At this point stop the diagonals, but don't cut the thong. Start running the thong round in a spiral weaving up and over the crossed pieces to create a woven piece. I hope that kind of makes sense and please post up your results Tod |
Perfectly clear! I've just tried it with a power cord and cell phone case and I can see the "weave" appear on its own. Very neat trick.:D The only problem is that it must be modified somehow for a scabbard (or cell phone case) because there's nothing on the back of the scabbard equivalent to the bow's tiller to keep the passes separate (can't go top left to bottom right, then top right to bottom left). Unless....maybe the belt itself or similar-size piece of wood or leather is used as the stop during the passes. I'll experiment.
Thanks for the tip!
