You Will Need (2 things)

  • Rope
  • Embroidery Thread

Steps (7 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    Knot your choice of embroidery threads around a rope.

  2. 2

    Pick your starting color, keeping the other threads alongside the rope.

  3. 3

    Pull the thread to the right, then bring it across the rope, making the number 4.

  4. 4

    Wrap the thread behind the rope, bring though the four, and pull tight.

  5. 5

    Repeat, repeat, repeat

  6. 6

    Once you section of the first color is long enough, put it back with the other threads and pull out another color and keep wrapping/knotting away.

  7. 7

    Tie all the threads around the rope and double knot when done.

    Once I had enough wrapped rope, I tied it into a chain sinnet , glued the open ends together, and wrapped it up with more thread. Take that anthropologie!
    PS: For the hot pink one, I hot-glued on bead caps to the end of the rope and attached to a chain.
