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.
