Description from EPBCornell: I was thinking you could use the waxed linen like I used to use embroidery floss, just way, way stiffer. Either a simple winding series of hitches around a couple of strands, like some people put around locks of their hair, started off either end of a beaded link. Tie loose ends on as a friendship bracelet. Or just a simple 4-strand braid of linen, no need to over-complicate like I usually do...
