A user pulls the elongated flexible member and measured lengths of ribbon out of the clip through the channel and ties the ribbon to form a bow.

The invention provides a beads threading machine with which a thread can easily be put through a plurality of beads of various shapes, The beads threading machine for threading a plurality of beads each having annular projecting portions which project outwards from end portions of the bead hole, the beads threading machine comprises: a plurality of supporting portions which are disposed at predetermined intervals along a circumferential direction of a circular main body on the main body to thereby support the annular projecting portions of the beads; a thread holding portion which is disposed at one end side of the row of supporting portions; an insertion member having at a distal end thereof a hook portion on which a thread disposed in the thread holding portion is hooked; a guide path for guiding the insertion member at the other end side which is opposite to the end side of the row of the supporting portion; a rotary plate having a fixing portion where a rear end of the insertion member is fixed; and an accommodation path for accommodating the insertion member along the circumferential edge of the rotary plate, wherein by rotating the rotary plate in a forward direction, the insertion member is inserted through the bead holes to thereby dispose the hook portion in the thread holding portion, whereas by rotating the rotary plate in a reverse direction, a thread disposed in the thread holding portion is caused to be hooked on the hook portion so that the thread hooked on the hook portion is put through the bead holes.

A method for precisely spacing knots in a string utilizing a generally flat, rectangular board; a centered post projecting outwardly of and generally perpendicular to the board for enabling tying the free end of the string about the post to enable forming of knots in the string upon tightening of same; and, a plurality of selectable measurement points on the board, aligned longitudinally, transversely of the board and extending outwardly from the post in equidistantly spaced relation and for enabling positioning a predetermined point along the string at one of the selectable measurement points, the spacing between the predetermined point along the string and a knot formed at the post being determined by the spacing between the post and the selected measurement point. The method is used in forming jewelry by interspersing beads between knots whose positions have been pre-selected, using the technique set forth.

An assisting tool is provided for making a tufted ornament having a bunch of threads. The assisting tool includes a first frame and a second frame that form a generally rectangular shape when assembled. The first and second frames have first and second thread hanging portions, respectively, that are spaced apart from each other in a first direction. Each thread hanging portion extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The assisting tool further includes a length adjuster for adjustably varying the length in the first direction from the first thread hanging portion to the second thread hanging portion by allowing the first and second frames to slide toward or away from each other.
