Elaboration Instructions:

This teething ring threads differently than other teething rings. Because we wanted to keep this tutorial a little shorter / focus more on this particular form. If you are not yet familiar with the basics for making a teething ring, we recommend you first read the basic tutorial here – > Basic tutorial.  To make the pentagon shape, we used safety beads on the corners. This is different from standard. In doing so, you go through one hole and back through the other. 

You first thread all the way up until you are round. Then you are going to quietly slide these beads. Do not pull too hard at first, but gently slide the beads towards each other per segment of the pentagon by pulling, pushing and sliding a bit. Because of the way the safety beads are seated they will give some resistance so it won’t slide well, when you pull harder, you will pull it tight into the safety bead which will only give you more resistance.

If you have all the beads slid a little close together then only then will you immediately tie two knots. At that point, you can tighten the teething ring securely. After this, you will thread back two ways. Once arrived at a safety bead as follows. Work from the inside out. Don’t stick in the first hole, but in the farthest hole from where you are working. Then insert back in at the top through the nearest hole and work through to the next side. Also, keep pulling your cord tight / properly while you are at it.

Once reassembled, tie another double knot. Threading two more beads to the side with both threads allows you to pull the knot away. Cut off the ends! Congratulations you have made a beautiful Pentagon / Pentagon teething ring!

Love,
Team Jootjes

DISCLAIMER:
In this tutorial, the teething ring is made from satin cord, making it very durable. Satin cord is very sturdy because of the way it is produced (weaving/textile processing) and has a lot of grip/friction at the knots. Therefore, these buttons do not come off easily when tightened. However, wear and tear is always possible with any product you use, that’s just a fact.

Jootjes Haakcadeautjes does not produce the teething ring itself and can never be held liable for potential damage caused by loose teething rings. We show a way to make the teething rings that we think is a very reliable way. However, production and use of a teething ring is always at your own responsibility. Jootjes Haakcadeautjes can never be held responsible for damages resulting from the use of one teething ring produced based on these instructions. Anyway, our advice is strict. Always use teething toys only under the supervision of a responsible adult!
