Tying colored strings is decorative and great fun. You can make key rings, figures, jewellery etc. These hollow strings can be threaded with wire to make them bendable. The string can then be wound round a pencil a few time to make a colorful spiral. Here we show four different techniques which can also be used for tying figures or other decorations. If plaiting a keyring you can tie a carbine hook or keyring into the first knot. | |||
