Loopy Jute Twine DIY Christmas Garland
"Finger crocheting or knitting are very popular right now! I do neither. While looking at a how-to video explaining finger crocheting, a light bulb went on about making a garland out of twine using a slipknot. I know, imagine a simple slipknot! So I pulled out my very large roll of jute twine and started making slipknots. I first tied a knot on one end and then basically tied another knot to form a loop and continued tying knots with loops. A cute little pattern of loops were forming and I liked how it was looking."
Estimated CostUnder $10
Time to CompleteUnder an hour
Main MaterialYarn
Materials List
- Jute Twine
- Glue
- Bells
Jute twine is the main material used, but this can also be done using thick yarn.
Instructions
-
First, make a loop with the twine.
-
With your right fingers, push the twine through the loop and out creating a knot with a loop and tighten. This is call a slipknot.
-
Once you've made the first slipknot (with loop) continue making another slipknot with a loop using your fingers.
-
Keep tying knots and forming loops and you'll soon see a resulting cute pattern of loops!
-
The spacing between the loops can be tighten by adjusting the loop.
-
Slipknots can easily be pulled out so once you're satisfied with the look of the garland loops, add a drop of baric glue to the knots and let dry.
-
Tie on red bells to the garland for a festive look!

I recently bought a ball of jute and had to get a larger size than I actually needed. I was wondering what I could possibly use the rest of it on. This is a great idea to help me use it and to also add a little Christmas holiday cheer to my office space. I just need to pick up some festive bells for it now.

It doesn't get any more inexpensive or easy than this. I really like it. I have made smaller wreaths with hemp they came out very nice with red and green beads intertwined in them. Now I am eager to take on this bigger size one. Thanks for reminding me how simple things can end up making the prettiest things.
