Gather Materials: Collect BeadTec knotting cord, Miyuki seed beads, table cut buttons, scissors, and a lighter. Cut the Cord: Cut six pieces of cord, each about 32 inches long. Create the Base Loop: Tie the cords together in a loop big enough for the button to pass through. Start Knotting: Secure the cords and begin knotting using the alternating square knot technique, known as "Snoopy's nose." Add Beads: After a few knots, add a bead to the right cord and continue knotting, alternating sides. Separate and Continue: Split the cords into two groups of three and continue knotting, adding beads to each side. Rejoin Cords: Bring the cords back together and continue the pattern, ensuring consistency. Finish the Ends: Secure the button, tie off the ends, and use a lighter to burn and secure the knots. Final Adjustments: Adjust the knots and beads for uniformity and trim any excess cord.
