ITEMS NEEDED:
C-clamp
Key ring (1 inch diameter)
Tape measure
Place mat (to protect table from c-clamp)
Scissors
Safety pins (1 inch size)
Cotton crochet thread - colors Royal blue and White

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.) Attach c-clamp to a table, handle up, with the place mat curved around the table edge.  Tighten lightly to avoid table damage.  Place key ring over handle and shaft (fig 1).

2.) Cut three 22 inch lengths of white crochet thread
     Cut one 35 inch length of blue crochet thread
3.) Even up one end of the four lengths of thread and fold in half so that the white threads are folded in half with the one end of the blue thread longer (FIG 2).

4.) Keeping the relationship of the threads, slide one end through the key ring and hold taut. (FIG 3).

5.) Mark the length of the safety pin (1") on the c-clamp for a reference. (FIG 4).
    This allows the pin to swing through the loop later, if necessary.

6.) Keeping the ends even, make your 1st half of a knot at the reference mark. (FIG 5).

7.) Make the 2nd half of the knot (complete the knot).  All ends should be even except one end of the blue thread. (FIG 6)

8.) Next, hold all ends together except the long blue one; and twist the blue thread around the others 7 times keeping the windings snug (not too tight) with no spaces between the wound blue thread. (FIG 7)

9.) Separate the threads 4 x 4 with one blue one on each side. (FIG 8)

13.) Place the loop through the circle in the end of the safety pin, and then the end of the tseetseet through the loop. (FIG 12)

14.) Pull the ends completely through the loop and slide threads tight to the safety pin. (FIG 13)
