Make a hanging ornament from a woven Pan Chang header, a gourd-shaped bead, five linked coins and a handmade capped tassel. The source demonstrates the header and connections, then continues through wrapping, binding and trimming the tassel.
What you will need
- Red knotting cord for the header and coin connections.
- Five Chinese-style coins with central holes.
- A drilled gourd-shaped bead or the shown matching ornament bead.
- Fine tassel thread and contrasting binding thread; red and gold are shown.
- A gridded pin board, pins, pointed tool and small pliers.
- A firm book or card for winding the tassel, a small stick, threading needle and scissors.
Record what works for your cord
Write down its type, diameter and starting length, then the size after tightening. The printed result helps you compare the outline; it does not set the physical scale or show the hidden route. Follow the demonstration for threading and gradual tightening.
