Both strands just need to be long enough.

I couldn't find a proper contact for you, so I thought I'd ask on a recent post :3 <br />My boyfriend and I have become very interested in your blog, it's inspired us to make a zillon different lanyards for our flashlights/knives/compasses etc. So I thought Id make something of my own. He gave me this skull ( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v38/neko-vamp/skull.jpg ) as a gift when we first met. I've had it hung on some hemp string, as you can see it sags terribly and looks like a tumor :\ I'd like to fix that. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction of what kind of knot would be best to clump up the bottom to make it stand upright, if it needs that at all. It only has those two holes in the cheek bones about half the width of paracord, so finding a solution's been hard, thought I'd go to an expert instead of staring at another trillion how-two websites, hehe. Thanks in advance! Keep up the awsme work!BastduLunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460322106128234430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-76685733248421013292010-05-02T21:44:06.037-04:002010-05-02T21:44:06.037-04:00Tie the turks head over a cylinder shaped object, ...Tie the turks head over a cylinder shaped object, that is slightly larger than the ball bearing, first. when you have the knot and two or three passes made, slide the knot off the cylinder. Then insert the ball bearing and gradually tighten the turks head over the bearing. <br /><br />You may have to work the slack through the knot several times to make sure to keep everything straight, and to maintain the shape and uniformity of the knot, time consuming but necessary.<br /><br />If you can still see the bearing after tightening, you may need to add another pass to the turks head knot, as would similarly be done with a monkey's fist.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-65490544169008191372010-05-02T21:34:22.436-04:002010-05-02T21:34:22.436-04:00I did exactly what it said but it wouldn't fit...I did exactly what it said but it wouldn't fit over the ball bearing.PrimeTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132531622063188419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-68420787311942175982010-05-02T18:58:22.384-04:002010-05-02T18:58:22.384-04:00There are a few turks head 'tutorials' on ...There are a few turks head '<a href="http://www.golden-knots.com/teaching.html" rel="nofollow">tutorials</a>' on golden-knots.com(knot jewelry). <br /><br />You can also ask on the <a href="http://khww.net/news.php" rel="nofollow">KHWW.net</a> forums.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-68361401751894264852010-05-02T17:09:31.760-04:002010-05-02T17:09:31.760-04:00Well if you had a webcam that would work also.Well if you had a webcam that would work also.PrimeTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132531622063188419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-10035378537374673362010-05-02T15:11:44.694-04:002010-05-02T15:11:44.694-04:00Is there a place that is easier.
