With this Finger Tip you can truly get knotted!
These are made from ribbons or leather, thanks to a bit of nifty knotting.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
The leather version is made by using a leather lace, some modelling clay and a pencil.
|
Start by squishing the modelling clay down.
Pop the pencil into the modelling clay, pointy side down.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
Then take the leather lace, fold it in half and tie it onto the pencil at the half way point.
Use an ordinary knot to do this.
|
Then tie another knot in the same way and pull it right down to the pencil.
Keep repeating the technique...
|  |
 |
 |
 |
...until you've knotted enough to go right round your wrist!
|
Once you're happy, take it off the pencil and tie it onto your arm.
It can be quite tricky to do so you may need a friend to help. Use the loop left by the pencil to tie it on with a final knot.

 |
 |
Trim off the excess with a pair of scissors.
|
|
Alternatively, instead of leather lace you can use coloured thread, like this one.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
And you can even use the technique to make a belt, too!
This was made using fake leather strips and curtain hoops tied after every few knots. It looks fantastic, doesn't it?
