The steps for making walnut bracelets are as follows:
Preparation materials: walnuts, file or sandpaper, brush, small drill bit, crochet hook, and elastic rope.
1. First, peel the ornamental peaches picked from the outside and dry them in the shade (be careful not to dry them directly in the sun).
2. Use a file or sandpaper to smooth the edges of the peach core and try to make the peach core look as round as possible.
3. Next, we use a brush to clean the impurities on the surface of the peach core.
4. Next, use a small drill bit (an electric drill can also be used if possible) to drill two small holes on both sides of the peach core. Be careful not to drill directly from one side to the other, otherwise the drilled holes will not straight.
5. After drilling the hole, we use a crochet hook through the hole to hook the elastic cord on it, do this in sequence and finally tie the elastic cord tightly, and you're done.
6. The finished product is completed.
Notes on making walnut bracelets
1. Choose good quality walnuts: Choose walnuts with complete shapes and smooth surfaces, making sure they have no obvious flaws or cracks.
2. Clean walnuts: Use warm water and neutral detergent to gently clean walnuts to remove dirt and grease on the surface.
3. Dry walnuts: Place the washed walnuts in a ventilated place to dry, making sure they are completely dry to avoid mold or deterioration during the production process.
4. Prepare tools and materials: Prepare the required tools and materials, including thread or rope, needles, beads, etc. Make sure they are all clean and suitable for handcrafting.
5. Measure and cut the thread: Determine the length of the thread according to your wrist size, leaving an appropriate margin. Use scissors to cut the thread, making sure the ends of the thread are neat for easy threading and knotting.
6. Choose the threading order: Choose the threading order of walnuts and beads according to personal preference and design. Can be matched and combined based on color, size or shape.
7. Threading and knotting: Use a needle to thread the thread through both ends of the walnut, leaving a length of thread of appropriate length. Then tie a knot at the end to make sure the thread doesn't come loose easily.
8. Repeat the threading: Repeat the above steps, thread the walnuts and beads on the thread, arrange and combine them according to the design needs, until the required length of the bracelet is completed.
9. Final knotting: At the other end of the bracelet, perform the final knotting to ensure that the thread is firm and cut off excess thread to avoid affecting the appearance and comfort of wearing.
