Santa little helper

Since it is that time of the year or at least close to it and i have a bit of free time for a afternoon doodle with rope.

I have use left over 2mm polyester flat braided “craft cord” to make this mini cat o nine key fob i call it Santa little helper :slight_smile:

i have started with a four strand round braid by the square method about 10 inch total length.

Then i fold it in half and toss two constrictor on it to temporally hold the base together. Then i have done a 8 strand coach whipping on the base after that i have done two turk head a square one “green” near the loop and a strip one “red” near the other end and then tied sixteen single blood knots.

Since it is polyester and the thing want to fall apart i have use some CA glue ugliness (thank-you @pacharanero for the expression :slight_smile: ) on the two turk head to keep them in place.

Finally i have forged a key ring on the anvil to keep the keys.

Charles.
