In this entry, we will be giving a tutorial on how to make a Tornado.  This way, you can custom make your own Tornado with any pair of Phiten Necklaces you have.  If you wish to make your own custom Tornado, please do so at your own discretion.  If you feel uneasy about making your own Tornado, feel free to stop by our shop and we can custom make one for you.

Also note that if you want to make a Tornado, the Necklace will end up 4 inches shorter than the original necklaces.  So if you plan on making an 18” Tornado, you need two 22” necklaces.  If you want a 22” Tornado, you need two 26” necklaces.

Let’s get to business!

Tools Needed:

• Scissors
• Sewing Needle
• Durable Sewing String

Follow these steps and you’ll know what it takes to make your own Phiten Tornado:

1)      Carefully unstitch the 2 ends of one necklace, and try not to cut too much of the necklace off.  It is important to leave as much necklace as you can just in case you need some extra length.

2)      Remove the clips and the rubber stoppers from the necklace you have unstitched.

3)      On the necklace with the rubber stoppers still intact (the “main” necklace), carefully cut the hole AWAY from the clips to make the holes slightly bigger.  This is to ensure that the width of 2 necklaces can fit in one hole.

4)      Now slide the rubber stoppers as close to the clip as you can.  You should be able to see the end of the loop from the main necklace, which is important in making a Tornado.

5)      Now get one end of the “naked” necklace, and place it close to the end of the loop from the main necklace as much as possible.  For the best result, the two ends should basically be touching.

6)      Now sew the naked necklace onto the main necklace near the end with a needle and sewing string.  Be sure to sew through the necklace and the core to secure the two together.  Also, be sure to do this several times to ensure that the necklaces will not separate.

7)      Next, secure the connected area with some kind of weight or pressure.  One of the best options is to use a drawer.  Place the secured end on the edge of an open drawer and close it enough to hold the necklace in place.

8)      Now, hold each necklace onto each hand.  This is where you begin the twisting.  Twist the individual necklaces clockwise as you twist the two of the necklaces together counter clockwise.  This is to counter act the twisting, so at the end of it all the necklace should be straight.  You will need to switch hands after twisting each necklace, and repeat until you get to the end.  You can also twist the necklaces the other way around, but the key thing is to twist the individual necklaces the opposite direction of the two whole necklaces.

9)      When you get near the end, you may have excess of the naked necklace.  This is actually normal.  Just secure the necklace as you did in step 6, near the end of the loop on the other end.  Simply cut off the excess part of the naked necklace as close to the sewing part as possible, without actually damaging the sewing.

10)   Now slide both rubber stoppers over the stitched area.  If done correctly, the stopper should be covering both ends of the stitched areas.

And there you have it!  That’s what it takes to make a Phiten Tornado.  Feel free to try this at home, and make any combination you wish.

Use your imagination and try to make a creative one that suites you!  If you have any questions, comments, or pictures of your creations, please feel free to contact us at torranceshop@phitenusa.com.

So who is she?

If you said Mirai Nagasu, you’re right!

Mirai Nagasu paid a visit to the Phiten Shop in Torrance.  She actually has been a customer of our product for some time now, before she was even on the Olympic Team.  Mirai and her mother both enjoy our products very much, and so they decided to pay us a visit to our shop.

Here’s Mirai with one of our staff, Youngsun Lee.

Mirai lit up the room with not only her smile, but also with her personality.  She was very nice and humble; you wouldn’t have guessed that she was a celebrity.  You never know who will grow up to become a world class athlete.
