Materials

  • Cotton Fabric

Instructions

  • Rip strips of cotton fabric in approximately 1-inch widths. 
  • Start with two strips, one considerably longer than the other.
  • Take the ends of your strips and make a knot.
  • Twist the top strip of fabric to the right about 3 times tightly.
  • Twist it over the bottom strip. Repeat over and over.
  • When you get to an end, add a new strip of fabric by rolling it up and nesting it into the end of the short strip.
  • Twist it tightly to the right as before and bring it over the bottom strip, and continue.
  • Cut 8 lengths of twine approximately 4.5 feet each.
  • Tie them together at one end with a simple overhand knot. 
  • Use a basic binder ring to slip into the knot for hanging.
  • Separate the twine into four groups of two.
  • Tie another overhand knot in each pair about 12 inches from the top knot.
  • Tie a second knot about 10 inches below each first knot, grabbing the two adjacent twine lengths.
  • Tie the two outside lengths at the same height.
  • Finish by tying a large base knot at the bottom.
  • Trim off any excess or straggly looking fabric pieces.
