- Take the remaining T-shirt yarn (approximately 12-13 meters).
- Sew the two open ends to form a continuous loop.
- Fold the loop in half twice, so you have four strands.
- Twist the strands together tightly, ensuring a uniform twist.
- Secure the twist with one of the detachable rings, threading both ends through it.

- Finishing Touches:
- Weave in any remaining loose ends with a tapestry needle.
- Trim any excess yarn.
