Homemade Rope

• some type of yarn, cording, or string
• scissors

1. Cut at least one length of yarn that is twice the length that you want your finished rope to be.
2. Tie one end of the rope onto a doorknob or something else secure.
3. Take note of which way it is that the strands of the rope were twisted, and continue to twist the rope in that direction. Continue this until the rope is tightly twisted and begins to curl up on itself. (See Figure 1)

4. Fold the length of yarn in half and let it twist up on itself. (See Figure 2)

5. Tie the loose ends together with an overhand knot, and YOU'RE FINISHED!
