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?
