(57) Method of making a fringe, comprising the steps of (a) securing one end of a flexible
connector (7) to a support member (4), (b) threading a plurality of beads (8) sequentially
onto the flexible connector (7) and (c) repeating the steps (a) and (b) at spaced
intervals along the support member (4), using the same flexible connector (7) in step
(c) as in steps (a) and (b). The order of threading the beads (8) onto the flexible
connector (7) is undertaken in accordance with a pattern guide comprising a coded
pattern sheet (2), on which sections (20) represent beads (8). The fringe comprises
the length of flexible connector (7) secured at one end and at intervals along it
to the support member (4) and depending from the support member (4) in loops (9),
each of the loops (9) having threaded onto it a plurality of beads (8) in a mannner
whereby the connector (7) passes in a first direction from the support member (4)
through the beads (8) and returns in a reverse direction to the support member (4)
through the beads (8).
