1.1 Pulseira com nó de botão (dois estilos)
(1) Caraterísticas de estilo
Esta pulseira baseia-se principalmente no nó de botão tradicional. O estilo um combina o nó de botão com um nó de trança e um sino; o estilo dois trata o nó de botão como uma "conta", combinando-o com vários fios para criar uma combinação de nós de botão (equivalente à combinação de linha e "conta"). A decoração do nó é clássica, bonita, viva e generosa, como mostra a Figura 4-1.
(2) Principais pontos de aprendizagem
Aprender o método de tecelagem dos nós de botão e as combinações e aplicações dos nós de botão.

(5) Método para fazer a primeira pulseira
Dobrar o fio cor-de-rosa ao meio para encontrar o centro, primeiro entrançar dois fios de 7~8cm, depois dar um nó de botão, ver Figura 4-2(1).
② É efectuado um total de 4 nós de botão, cada nó com um espaçamento de cerca de 0,8 cm; ver Figura 4-2(2).
③ Continue a entrançar dois fios, faça um nó de botão no final, corte o excesso de fio e derreta as pontas para unir. Preste atenção para distribuir uniformemente a distância entre os dois fios e o nó de botão para garantir a simetria; veja a Figura 4-2(3).
④ Utilizar uma argola para ligar um sino e depois pendurá-lo no centro do nó de botão como decoração; o efeito final é mostrado na Figura 4-2(4).
(6) Método para fazer a segunda pulseira
① Reservar a argola da casa de botão de acordo com o tamanho das pérolas de madeira e usar fio vermelho para tecer dois nós duplos, definindo o fio de tecelagem como a e b. Inserir uma linha c (linha adicional) no nó de ligação dupla, derreter e fixá-la; ver Figura 4-3 (1).
② Tecer um nó de botão separadamente nas linhas a e b e fixar estas duas linhas com um nó duplo; ver Figura 4-3 (2).
③ Dê dois nós de botão na linha c, dê um nó de botão na linha b e prenda as linhas b e c com um nó duplo. Ver Figura 4-3 (3).
④ Tecer dois nós de botão na linha a e um nó de botão em cada uma das linhas b e c. Depois de entrançar dois nós de ligação dupla para os fixar, cortar uma linha e fazer um fusível para a fixar, ver Figura 4-3 (4).
⑤ Utilizar uma linha para passar através do botão e, em seguida, fazer um nó com outra linha para o fixar e polir a linha para a fundir, ver Fig. 4-3 (5).

① Making the bias strip: To facilitate the turning out the bias strip, fix a sewing thread at one end of the auspicious strip fabric with a needle; as shown in Figure 4-38 (1).
② Clamp the sewing thread inside the bias strip, and after sewing, pull the bias strip to turn it to the front side for use; see Figure 4-38 (2).
③ Fold the bias strip in half with the right sides facing each other, sew a 4 mm wide seam from the fold line, ensure the stitches are even, and be careful not to sew the thread onto the fabric, see Figure 4-38 (3).
④ Pull the thread to turn the right side of the bias strip out; see Figure 4-38 (4).
⑤ Making the petals: Cut the prepared strips into 5 pieces, each 27 cm long, and mark the midpoint to ensure symmetry. Then, starting from one end of the bias strip, roll towards the center while sewing to secure it. Use the same method to make the other end, ensuring to leave about 2 cm for the buttonhole in the middle section without rolling the edge; see Figure 4-38(5).
⑥ A total of 6 pieces are made, of which 5 are needed for the flower petals and 1 each for the buttonhole ring and button at the end of the bracelet (1 pair); see Figure 4-38 (6).
⑦ Arrange the completed components together to see if they fit. The overall diameter of the flower shape is generally controlled between 4~5cm; as shown in Figure 4-38 (7).
⑧ Fix the two ends of the rolled bias strip together. Generally, it is better to fix it on the back side and avoid exposing the thread on the front side; as shown in Figure 4-38 (8).
⑨ Then connect the petals and sew on black agate beads A as embellishments; see Figure 4-38 (9).
⑩ Finally, sew one red agate bead A in the center of the flower; see Figure 4-38 (10).
⑪ Threading the chain: First, thread the left chain, starting from one end of the buttonhole with red silk thread to string the beads, in the order of black agate bead B, (red barrel bead, black agate bead C) ×3 times, black agate bead B, and then sew it to the flower body, see Figure 4-38 (11).
⑫ Pass through a petal, continue through the middle chain, and connect to the buttonhole ring; then pass through the right chain and return to the petal; next, combine black agate bead D with red agate bead C, threading two sets of rings, ensuring that there is one petal between the two sets of rings. The method for the other side is the same, and the tail is connected to the button knot, see Figure 4-38 (12).
⑬ Finally, thread an arc-shaped chain over the two sets of rings, with the length just reaching the middle finger, making the bracelet very stable when worn, see Figure 4-38 (13).
