A Brunnian link is a link formed from a closed loop doubled over itself to capture another closed loop to form a chain. The example kit provides for the successful creation of unique wearable articles using Brunnian link assembly techniques and includes several pin bars that are supported in a desired special orientation by at least one base. The desired special orientation is dependent on the desired linked configuration of the completed article. The pins may be assembled in various combination and orientations to provide endless variation of completed link orientations.

A disclosed bead bracelet loom for making a beaded item includes a clip disposed at one end of a track and configured to hold a portion of a cord. A holder is disposed on the track and spaced apart from the clip. The holder includes a key portion that engages a portion of the track to maintain a position of the holder spaced apart from the clip. The holder including a spring portion that holds a clip configured to hold an end of the cord and maintain a desired tension on the cord member between the clip and the holder.

An assisting tool is provided for making a tufted ornament having a bunch of threads. The assisting tool includes a first frame and a second frame that form a generally rectangular shape when assembled. The first and second frames have first and second thread hanging portions, respectively, that are spaced apart from each other in a first direction. Each thread hanging portion extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The assisting tool further includes a length adjuster for adjustably varying the length in the first direction from the first thread hanging portion to the second thread hanging portion by allowing the first and second frames to slide toward or away from each other.

A reversible sequin pattern sheet includes a layer of fabric positionable substantially in a plane and a plurality of sequins each having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the sequins being arranged in an array. Each sequin includes an aperture extending between the first and second surfaces, at least a portion of the first and second surfaces of the sequins having different indicia thereon. A thread extending through each aperture is secured to the fabric layer for securing the sequins to the fabric layer and for allowing each sequin to pivot with respect to the fabric layer between a first position and a second position. The indicia are selected such that when the array is in the first position a first message is conveyed, and when the array is in the second position a second message is conveyed.

A Brunnian link is a link formed from a closed loop doubled over itself to capture another closed loop to form a chain. One or more beads may be assembled to a linked item formed with Brunnian links. The beads include tapered sides to provide a curved interface that corresponds with the shape of a completed linked item.
