How To Make Twisted Cord — Presentation Transcript

How to:

make twisted cord

All you need is some embroidery floss, pearl 8, or crochet cotton or lovely fine yarn & yourself.

Step 2:

Cut lengths of thread about 3 times longer than you want your finished cord. I’ve used 4 strands for this cord but I probably prefer 2 strands for a more delicate finish.

Step 3:

Tie a knot at each end of your strands.

Step 4:

And tape one end to the table.

Step 5:

Slip a pen or pencil through the other end of the strands, stand back so that the strands are taught & start twisting & twisting & twisting. I twist clockwise.

Step 6:

You’ll know when you’ve twisted enough because the cord will start to twist on itself when you step forward.

Step 7:

Place one finger in the middle of your twist & then bring the end you were twisting to the end taped to the table..

Step 8:

YIKES – that doesn’t look right! It’s OK – don’t panic.

Step 9:

Knot the ends together & just run your thumb & forefinger up & down the cord a few times.

Step 10:

There you have it. Perfectly twisted cord ready for your next crafty application. How gorgeous round around a moleskin?

Vicky Ross at retired Thanks!! this was great help, I remember my girls years ago made these together to make their friendship bracelets. I am going to use eyelash wool and macrame a scarf..my own invention...wish me luck!! 3 months ago

Are you sure you want to Yes No

Chrysla I usually use a bobbin to make my cord, but I forgot it and was in search of a different method when I found this instruction. I needed a cord that was approximately four meters long. That's a lot of twisting!!!!!! However, I attached the ends of the yarn to a drill instead of a pencil and was finished with the entire project in about 10 minutes. This was wonderful!!!! 7 months ago

Incantation This will come in very useful to me! Thanks for this great share friend.:D
