I love that you don't just sit there and write such step by step boring instructions so that I am half asleep by the time I finish reading and then have no idea what I just read because I'm so disinterested, and then I have to re read it again which is torture, because now I realize how much time I've wasted and think twice as to whether or not I even want to make the thing. <br />So thank you for being funny and using words like shit, which we are all thinking but don't say because we're trying to be professional and you know not everyone appreciates it. <br />Great tutorial and just a partial suggestion because you really have covered everything..you can knot the ribbons or threads together first and then trim them before you stuff them in so its a slight bit easier, maybe; or maybe not, I just thought about it as I read you.<br />Regards<br />Heidiheidihillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15638582496605942368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050381412636516903.post-75079055077750584852014-11-17T15:37:16.590-08:002014-11-17T15:37:16.590-08:00I love your style: "WARNING: this is just pla...I love your style: "WARNING: this is just plain ol' tedious, muddle-through, poke/prod/mash/manipulate kind of crap. If anybody has a more systematic way of doing this that involves less kluging (geek speak, meaning: "A clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem."), I would love to know! I am totally making this shit up." And your forthrightness and generosity.

And the strength to deal with wire below 18 gauge.<br /><br />There's another tutorial at Boo's for doing that double wrap you mentioned: http://boojewels.blogspot.com/2009/09/tutorial-wrap-your-own-cord-ends.html.

With lighter weight ribbons and cords I tie a knot in them before I wrap. That way all the bunch of ribbons will be together when an enthusiastic toddler rips them out! I jest! I always use G-S Hypo cement on knots as well. That little needly thing goes right inside the knot obscuring the fact that I used glue. I have done this where I only crimp the last cicle and the top circle and that works, but yours looks much nicer! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I especially like that you don't assume (and we know what THAT means!) that your readers have any expertise at all. Too many tutorials address readers who are starting way ahead of "scratch", leaving beginners like me still standing at the starting line scratching their heads.
