How I Make or Replace a Necklace Cord for a Pounamu Pendant
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- There are many ways to make a neck cord for a pendant whether is be pounamu, jade, bone, metal, plastic, gold, silver etc. This is what I do. This method is strong and durable, and adjustable.
I use 1mm waxed polyester braid from Caudwells.co.nz, the brand I use is Zircon.

I’ve watched this tutorial dozens of times over the years, and I so appreciate you taking the time to make it, because - as a kiwi stranded in Canada with a boy who fidgets with his pounamu incessantly - I replace cords regularly. I never manage to onboard that knowledge as it’s just infrequently enough that my brain refuses to acknowledge that it’s essential information, or perhaps it just wants to reminisce and listen to a New Zealand accent explain clearly and calmly how a thing is done. Either way, you are a veritable treasure; thanks so much for helping this kiwi in a foreign land continue to proudly display part of their heritage.
Hey, thanks for the awesome support, I always forget about the impact an accent can have, take for granted what is in your everyday sometimes
That technique is awesome!!! I've had troubles with sliding knots getting caught up in long hair and this looks like the solution to that!!! Very cool!! thank you so much for sharing 🤘🤩🤘
Pleased it helped!
Thank you so much for posting all your videos and being willing to share your craft and skills. I was gifted a hei toki several years ago by a Maori friend visiting the UK. The cord started to wear and break apart and I looked for anyone who could rebind it here, but to no avail. I managed to do it on my first attempt all thanks to your tutorial. Thank you again.
You are so welcome!
keep coming back to this video for a reminder. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I have not been able to wear my grandmothers pounamu for a number of years as the cord was ready to break. I finally got round to finding out how to replace the cord and now I can wear it again with pride. Your video was so helpful (with the link to the whipping....took me a few tries to get this right) and easy to follow. Thanks again!
Stoked you got to wear your taonga again tau ke.
Thank you for keeping your work in frame. Most, if not all, the whipping tutorials I watched have been done out of frame and blurry. I enjoy watching your work. It helps me a lot. Keep up the good work.
Awesome thanks for the feedback. I am pleased I can help!
Hey mate, thank you so much for this video! My attempts at replacing the cord over the years on my pounamu toki have not worked well or don't last very long. Just did this last night and it is going to be way better. I appreciate the time you put into sharing this knowledge. Now maybe I will do something with the rough piece of greenstone I have!
Give it a go!
Lovely video. I actually used your other whipping tutorial to help me attach the necklace to a bone carving I did for a friend. I couldn't find any information on how to do it, and then came across your super helpful videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, to help people like me out. Surely do appreciate it. Look forward to the next one, cheers!
TheMudbugJuggler 9 that is awesome, super happy to hear it worked out for you. It is always good to make things for people I think.
I have have just completed my first Pounamu Hei Toki binding using three of your videos. Really appreciate it! Clear instructions and it's good being able to see so close up. Keep them coming. Thanks so much =)
Julie Burnett awesome so stoked they are helpful!
I just watched this to make my pounamu into a necklace. Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Big Thankyou, carefully watched this one, the whipping knot video and the adjustable sliding knot video and am now proudly wearing my Tiki again! Cheers!
I recently used had to replace two necklace chords and I followed along to this video both times. Thanks so much!
I love your videos!! I had to replace my chord and literally did it in an hour with your video! Thank you so much😌
Thanks CC. I came by to find what the material is used for re-hanging my gifted greenstone pounamu.
"smiles" yeah...My dear Maori pal I met online a decade ago sent me a dandy greenstone bird flute..tiki like...five or so years back.
She has since moved back to New Zealand, but what a nice gift of friendship sent the distance of Melbs to Chicago.
Being my pounamu tiki is only two+ inches x narrow, methinks I'll leave it single stranded with double fisherman's knot.
Tip for you: After melting the end, quickly place the flat of the lighter's wind screen to seal it flat ended. It creates a very small flair which aids in securing the knot when no real tag end left. vs pinching molten thread.
Thanks for the message I'll give that ago.
thank you! The cord on the pounamu my husband brought home for me is both too long and maybe a nylon blend, so I'm getting some waxed cotton to replace the cord. These tutorials are perfect.
Awesome i am pleased they help 👍
Bro awesome video, great instructional method. Chur brother
Cheers
Really enjoying your videos. I've been wrapping cord for days now, and what a great result-many necklaces on their way to being done. One can just feel how old this design/wrap is as you work with it. Maybe you could share with us more about the history of this awesome lashing, and what it has done for the people of the Pacific?
Thank you bro, that was so helpful. Worked perfectly on my bone piece's
My girlfriend gave me a piece of rough green stone for my birthday and I've always wanted to turn it into a necklace. Now i can as your videos have answered every one of my questions concisely and easily. You are a total legend for putting these out there! I don't know if you do commissions but if the time comes to get her a proper pounamu. Id love you to make it
Dusty Robertson that is great that these techniques worked for you. Awesome. Post a photo on my fbbpage if you can i would love to see it. Happy to talk about commissions anytime too just message through fb page its easiest.
Beautiful! I just got a necklace cord today in the mail from amazon because I’m allergic to metal but I have a couple special charm I wanted to wear.
Paige 1996 which cord did you buy? I need to purchase off amazon too.
I use a vice to hold my pounamu while braiding the cord. Works really well
Yea great idea. I recently got one and it is revolutionary for both braiding and tricky sanding.
I must say thx for showing your technique you it helps me a lot great channel 👍
Thanks
My pounamu got irreparably damaged recently, I was gifted another but it's old and has a broken cord. Will try this tutorial in the morning and update with how well it went
It worked really well! The cord is a bit lumpy but that's due to my lack of experience not any flaw with the technique. Thanks so much!
This is very helpful! I haven't been able to wear my toki because of the stringing and now I can.
Presley Did you purchase a cord online?
@@meldrickravida718 No, I bought some at a local craft store a few months back, but you could always order the cording on Amazon.
Bro you are a legend ay, thanks for this video!
Your welcome hope it helped.
What a great channel. Lovely. Have a flat white please from all of us❤️
Thank you! So helpful!!
I don't understand how you are making the knot, but whatever you are doing, the neckless looks good.
Check the comments for the link to how to tie a whipping.
Thank you! I was just trying to figure out what I was going to do to replace the cord on my pounamu! I will watch your other videos on whipping and the adjustable knot. I have a pikorura (double twist is that right?). Would you use the same technique with this design?
Hi, yep I would use this same method for a pikorua. Hope you get it all working.
Nice video. I have a question for you; I'm going to re string my green stone pendant, but it needs a clean / polish first. What products / method would you recommend to clean my pendant?
Without seeing it, just give it a clean with water and a toothbrush or similiar then re string it. Polishing requires special tools and compound and it should be fine without a re polish.
@@CampbellCarving Awesome, thank you
Is there any chance you could send us a link to where you got your code from please I tried to do a search but couldn't find the website. Loving your videos by the way
caudwell.co.nz
@@CampbellCarving thank you so much for the link
Can you show how to tide a knot that I can regulate the length of the necklace? In this video you use two knots but mine had only one and I prefer it. Thanks
You could use just one whipping and then tie a knot in the other end so it doesnt slip off?
I try, thanks
@@CampbellCarving hi, I tried but unfortunately I made the two ropes attached to the pendant too short. Do you have any tips on how to add an extra cord to the two to make it bigger or how to make it with a system that I can lock and unlock? Thanks for the tips, I really care about my pendant but I did this stupid mistake to make the two cords too short!
Hi, yes that is a bummer, i always start again if this happens. I havnt come up with a fix for it, i try to always go longer than needed as it is easier to shorten them than lengthen. Sorry i cant be more help.
@@CampbellCarving I added and extra rope and made two whipping but they were two wick, so I simply made two knots and it works very well and looks good! thanks anyway
do you run your strings through bee`s wax first? i found it helps the string slide more easily,,, thank you for the tips
The cord I use comes with wax already, not sure what kind though.
Preciosos
How long roughly should each did of chord be before you start the braid?
I start mine at about a meter
hi bro. i am doing a necklace like this, but its 3 colours? how do i get that whipping too work, can i do it with some braided cord or does it have to b single?
I would just choose one colour for the whipping, could try it with braided cord though, I have not tried that.
Hi its not very clear on the camera how u do the loop and start the whipping. Can u please do another video where we can see up close exactly how u are doing it
There is a link in the description to my whipping video. Here is the link again ua-cam.com/video/qxSSVp7J_Ck/v-deo.html
What makes a braided wax cotton cord necklace twist when worn. It is annoying. Any suggestions?
Could be how the cord sits where it connects to he pounamu, could be rubbing up and down the back of the neck. Could be the pendant being threaded through the necklace loop, could be lots of things depending on the style of necklace and the lashing or attachment.
Hi.Great videos! I am interested in buying zircon cord you use and I am having trouble finding it for sale here in the USA. I tried the link you provided but will not allow me to puchase it thru that web site. Are there any other web sites I can purchase it? Thank you.
Sorry Im not sure for the US, your local bead shop might be an option if there is one.
Where can i buy wax cord like your one here to lash my ponumu? Please advicr
I buy mine from Caudwell.co.nz
kia ora bro just quickly have you got a vid on just a cord with the loop on 1 end and and nknot on the other trying to redo my toki but dont wanna wreck it
Hi, no video sorry, but just use the same principle for the loop as the sliders in this video, then just make sure your knot is big enough not to slip through.
How much do you charge to put a new necklace on
Depends on the necklace send me a message through my site. Campbellcarving.co.nz
if im re doing one with a toggle will a single whipping loop on one end stay the same size opening or will it move open and shut?
You should check out the video on the toggle and loop techinque I did, let me know if you can't find it.
@@CampbellCarvingyea i cant find it
@@CampbellCarving found it
Damn‼️❤️

Hi. I have a handmade Pounamu. The rope is kind of wrapped around the pendant. I've tried cleaning it regularly with plain water. But I want to be able to take the rope off, wash it and put it back on. Is that possible?
Or will it need a replacement?
Guest 5929 i just replied on another post too. You will need new cord to do the lashing and the necklace.
Hi, Is there any chance you could fix my neckless for me. arun@oswl.co.uk; UK based and miss my neckless- cord snapped
Kia ora,
Just wondering how you measure your cords to know how much you will need to do the three plate? So as not to use too little or waste too much?
I use 3 strands of one meter for the whole thing, that seems to be about right, There is always some wastage.
Hey Campbell, did you shaped that Pounamu Pendant? And do you sell them or? I wanted a YinYang earring, but I don't know where to find someone to do it for me, so could you do it?
Hi, I do carve Pounamu and could talk about making something for you. Get in touch via facebook chat on my page if you can facebook.com/campbellcarving/ Then we can talk more. I look forward to hearing from you.
Also one other question, do you know where to purchase quality polyester waxed cord from online? I live in Nelson and unfortunately the bead shop here has closed down and there is no where to purchase any here 😩
I usually use 3x 1m ish strands for the length. I buy it in bulk from caudwells. Co. Nz black zircon 1mm braid. Good price but you have buy quite a bit.
Hey try Craftrunner, they sell online. their cord is really nice and theyre based in nelson
How do you make an adjustable necklace into one string type of thing without having to cut it or what not?
Im not quite sure what you mean. I always have to cut the cord when im making a necklace.
Campbell Carving um when I was 19 I bought one with the adjustable string and the gentlemen somehow removed the adjustable string to become just one piece. So basically I couldn’t adjust the length and I could never take it off. There wasn’t any extra string either.... I’m assuming they must have cut it and just retied it around me? I’m worried to cut it myself because I don’t have confidence to tie it correctly so it won’t fall apart or something. Do I make sense now?
I think I get the idea. If your worried I could retie it for you like the one in the video. Perhaps co tact me through my facebook page and send me some photos facebook.com/campbellcarving/
Somebody's stolen my nail clipper!
