Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. Attach Cords to the Dowel (Lark's Head Knot)
Cut 5 cords (about 60 cm each).
Fold each cord in half and attach to the dowel using the Lark’s Head Knot.
2. Create a Triangle with Square Knots
Use square knots to form a small triangle pattern in the center. Keep the tension even for a clean, uniform look.
3. Finish with Diagonal Knots (Double Half Hitch)
Make two rows of diagonal Double Half Hitch Knots starting from each side toward the center to frame your triangle.
4. Add a Wooden Bead
Slide a 12 mm wooden bead onto the hanging cord above your wall piece for a simple decorative finish.
5. Comb and Trim the Fringe
Brush out the cord ends using your fringe comb for a soft, fluffy finish.
Trim the fringe evenly for a neat, professional look.
Tips & Variations
Try using two contrasting colors for a layered boho effect.
Add small dried flowers or greenery for a seasonal touch.
Package it in a kraft box for a professional handmade gift idea.
