🔑 Introduction to Crafting a Wristlet Keychain
The video begins with an introduction from Hemp Teak, explaining how to create a beautiful and practical wristlet keychain. The host walks through the initial steps of preparing five-foot cords by folding them in half and attaching them to a ring with a lark’s head knot. Additional cords are then attached to the left and right of the ring. The tutorial emphasizes that the shorter cords should be placed in the middle, sandwiched between longer cords. The first step involves tying the longer cords around the shorter cords using a square knot technique, starting with a half square knot to lock the cords in place.
📏 Creating and Securing the Keychain with Square Knots
This section continues with detailed instructions on tying a full square knot, ensuring a one-inch gap between the knots. After completing 22 square knots, which results in a 12-inch chain, the video demonstrates how to fold the cords upwards and pass the loose ends through the keychain ring. To secure the design and maintain the shape, a gathering knot is introduced. The host explains how to create and tighten the gathering knot using another piece of cord. The final adjustments ensure that all cords are smooth and aligned, preparing for the last step of trimming the excess cord ends to finish the project.

hi everyone today hemp teak will be
showing you how you can create this fun
practical and beautiful wristlet
keychain
let's get started
[Music]
start by folding your five feet cords
evenly in half and attaching them to
your ring with a lark's head knot
[Music]
now take your other length of cord and
attach it to the left of the key ring
with another lark's head knot
[Music]
now attach your last two cords to the
right of those original cords we
attached
just like that
now once you have all your cords
attached just remember the shorter cords
should be right in the middle sandwiched
by your two longer sets of cords
now we're going to tie these longer
cords around the two in the middle with
square knots
so i'm going to first start by tying a
half square knot to lock our lark's head
knots into place so i'm going to take
the side here on the right and cross it
over the two cords in the middle to form
a loop
then the group on the left goes over
those right cords
behind the two in the middle
and up through that loop on the right
after you pull those through the loop
we're just going to pull on the ends to
tighten up our half square knot
[Music]
just like that now this is going to make
sure those lark's head knots do not come
loose and now they are locked into place
so now we're going to form a full square
knot but we're going to move down a
little bit of space from our half square
knot we formed up there so just move
down about an inch
and then tie another half square knot
from the right
[Music]
when you pull it tight just make sure
you leave about an inch of space
okay you can leave a little more or less
it's not too big of a deal
and now we're going to finish out our
full square knot by this time taking the
side on the left to cross over those
cords in the middle
then the side on the right goes over
those left cords
behind the group in the middle
and up through the loop on the left
after you pull them through we just pull
that nice and tight
and that is a full square knot so now we
repeat once again starting on the side
of the right
[Music]
[Music]
okay so i have done 22
square knots straight down
okay so it's a long chain of square
knots and my total length comes out to
be about 12 inches long from the top of
the ring all the way down to the last
square knot
so once you have made that length or
something similar
we are going to take our project and
fold it upwards
and send all these loose ends right
through the keychain
[Music]
okay that's what it will look like once
you have done that
and we're just going to kind of um keep
it a little loose so that the ends match
up with the gap okay so you want these
two square knots to match location
and then what we're going to do is
secure this gap
space
with a gathering knot and this is going
to keep our project in that loop shape
and just lock everything into place
so to do this we're going to bring in
another piece of our hemp cord and we're
going to fold it in half so that we have
a loop that hangs below
a short little tail that sticks up and
then a long piece of cord on the other
side
okay and then we're just going to place
this cord
right on top of all of our cords
okay the loop's going to hang below that
short tail sticks up and then we're
going to take this long cord and start
wrapping it around
everything
okay as you wrap this you do want that
loop to hang below and that tail to
stick up
and you want to keep your wrappings
fairly tight as you go
[Music]
once you have wrapped that around quite
a few times and have filled the gapped
section stick that long cord right
through the loop we left
okay
and then take that short tail that's
sticking up and give it a nice gentle
pull
to pull the knotted section through the
gathering part
okay
now once it is about halfway through the
wrap section we're going to tighten up
the knot by taking the long end and the
short end and just pulling on them
together
just like that
now we're going to fix the exact
placement of our gathering knot and kind
of smooth out all of these cords up here
by gently pulling on each individual
strand that is hanging down our project
okay so just gently pull on each cord to
kind of smooth out all of our project
cords
[Music]
now we're going to take a pair of
scissors and trim off all these
remaining ends
[Music]
now to just clean up any and sticking
out to make this as neat as possible i
like to take a little tapestry needle or
any object that has a pointed end and i
like to just push those
pieces back up through the gathering
knot so they stay hidden
and that is it so our wristlet key chain
is now complete
okay it is perfect to fit on your wrist
so you don't ever lose your key or any
other fun objects that get buried in
your purse so i hope you guys found this
tutorial helpful and inspiring and thank
you so much for watching
[Music]
