How to Make the Desert Flower Medallion (Necklace) by TIAT

Author Site Link: http://www.chapterprojects.com/

The Desert Flower Medallion is a subtle twist on the Sinusoidal Sinnet (not yet presented) tying technique. Providing the opportunity for a radiant flower pattern with a seamless necklace attached, my hope is that this design will add something extra to a tyers gift or sales material reserve.

hii i have some guestion on some other knots but u never respond to my emails

[TyingItAllTogether]

I'm apologize for not having gotten to my emails. I've been working week nights and every second of my weekends to finish Parcord Fusion Ties (my next book). I still work by day, so I can't work on the book then. Most my emails are asking me to do more work (e.g. research a tie, show step-by-steps for another, or produce a video for a specific piece). So I've had to shut them out for now...just until I get this book finished. That said, what's your question?

can i attach a buckle to any of the bracelets instead of knot claps

[TyingItAllTogether]

All the (bracelet) ties I show here can be adapted and fitted with buckles. The best person to learn how to make such adaptions is Stormdrane. He has a YouTube page here, but your best bet is to visit his website (easily found on the web). Your second best move would be to join the Fusion Knots Forum [at FusionKnot(dot)com]. There you'll find over a 1,000 fusion knot tyers converting and innovating my designs with buckles and other accouterments.

Hi,

The Desert Flower is beautiful.

What is the type of wire used ? Nylon ? Coton ?

Thank you for your answer.

what's wrong with your finger ;'( ?

this also makes a great bracelet if you pick up the slack early and continue tying the pedals ^.^

Depends on how large you want the loop. You can do just the medallion and a 3" loop with approximately 45" of each color cord, depending on how tightly you pull each loop as you tie.

This gives you enough to make the 4-strand diamond finish and still have the tails, and still be able to manipulate the cord properly.

If i wanted to make into the medallion alone with a little loop instead of the whole neclace, about how much paracord do you think i should use?

[sellman347]

take it off of a sweatshirt you never use anymore, i did that and it works fine.

Really enjoying your instructions. I have been looking for designs with a seamless necklace or lanyard loop to make a more unique hunting knife lanyard for a friend. This one is going on my list of possibilities. I also want to play around with your Jellyfish to see if one of the cords can be pulled out at the top to make a long seamless loop. I suppose just using a long length on one of the strands would do the trick. Thanks for the really cool videos!
