I used gutted paracord for the ceiling fan/light pull using a marble as a core.

I covered the quarter with gutted paracord as well.

The Spanish ring knot uses a 5 bight, 3 lead turk's head knot as a base.

To make pendant tighten the knot around the marble or coin. The WE will serve as the chain or cord of the pendant. Cut the standing end (12 o/clock position) close to the knot.

To make necklace pull the standing end back under two (it is now to the right of the WE emerging from the center of the knot. Tighten the knot around the coin or marble.

I used the "double fisherman's bend or grapevine bend" to complete the necklace. The sliding knots make the necklace adjustable.

You can tie the ends together with an overhand knot or other knot to make a permanent loop.
