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
Once you’ve mastered this design, you can easily adapt it to create unique variations:
Color Blocking: Try using two contrasting colors of cord for a layered boho effect.
Seasonal Accents: Add small dried flowers, small greenery, or even cinnamon sticks for a beautiful seasonal touch. This makes it perfect for handmade gifts.
Gifting Presentation: Place your finished piece in a simple kraft box. This makes a professional handmade gift that is ready for sale or giving.
Cord Types: Experiment with different textures, such as twisted or single-strand cord, to see how the fringe changes.
