  Step 1

  wash with warm water and soap 3 yards of waxed cotton cord.
  Once dried the wax will be mostly gone and the cord will look thicker and rounder.

• 

  Step 2

  Fold the cord in half and make the 4 bights plait turk's head knot... it's easy, just follow the arrows...

• 

  Step 3

  un-tight the knot a bit, to give it the messy look.

• 

  Step 4

  Mix a hazelnut size of fabric paint with few spoonfuls of water, and stir well.
  Make a test try on a small piece of cord, and if you like the color, dip the knot and part of the cords onto the mix.

• 

  Step 5

  hang it to dry

• 

  Step 6

  If you want a deeper color on the knot, once dry, dip it again and let dry again (this will make the process a little longer).

• 

  Step 7

  Now open the knot by moving the cords just a little, to show the ombre effect of the dye.

• 

  Step 8

  cut the ends of the cords at you're desired length and by using a toothpick and a drop of glue, slip the cords into the cord ends.

• 

  Step 9

  Insert the chain on both parts onto the cord ends ... and wear it in public!
