TIPS:
* To remove the creases caused by the cardboard packaging, iron the silk cord before using.
* Add a drop of adhesive on each knot under the crimp cover.
* Knotting can be done by hand or with a cord knotter. The key to good knotting is to make sure the knot is as close to the beads as possible, so the beads don’t move.
