Solidarity Hand Rings The solidarity hand rings are specially designed as an aid for people to form human chain. They are mainly made of satin ribbon and have the benefits that they are easy to make and carry , lightweight but sturdy , durable , hygienic , inexpensive and eyecatching. They are also capable of reinforcing the visual signs of solidarity as seen by the human chains united by these rings without broken points. Besides , they can help lessen the spreading of infectious diseases caused by skin contact and sometimes embarrassment between strangers or opposite sexes. Above all , it is hoped that the people forming human chain under the connection with solidarity hand rings will be imbued with a greater sense of solidarity and unity in fighting for their rights , demands or goals.
To one’s surprise , the solidarity hand rings are virtually made with just one simple knot which can withstand very strong pull without getting loosened. In fact , there are already a number of existing ways of making a similar kind of bow or knot. This method , however , bears the advantage of being easy to make and able to control the size of the double rings and length of the tails simultaneously and symmetrically.
First , cut a strip of ribbon of about 90cm or 100cm-110cm if you expect they will be used by more people of stronger body build or the rings can be slipped to the elbow region when people have to use the phone.
Here a nylon string is used in place of the ribbon for clearer demonstration
