Finishing our beading

We paused our beading progress for a while, but were working hard today to finish them up, and add glue and leather. We needed to weave the thread back and forth for about a centimetre which secures the threads and gives a surface to attach the leather end pieces and ties.

We glue the threads to keep them stabilized, and then we glue the leather on the ends.

We’re putting together a document to share our photos and explain the math that we see in the designs.

We have learned a lot through doing this project, both about beading and about patterning and about fractions and percents, and symmetry. We also learned about managing our time and emotions and persisting with a task over a period of time.
