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.
