DIY Bakers Twine

This is an entry for the Copy Cat Challenge and Maker Mom's contest. Bakers twine is used for embellishing all kinds of things. It is rather expensive in my opinion so I decided to try something different. Follow through and I will show you how easy it is.

Sunshiine's Final Thoughts

That was easy wasn't it? Now take the twine and embellish something beautiful! This version is heavier than cotton and more difficult to tie into a bow. The tie can be glued or taped to hold the shape. There are many good uses for this type of twine.

In closing I would like to thank our instructables company, sponsors, authors, readers, and members; for making this community a great success! Many hours and hard work has been put into making this place the best DIY on the Internet. Have fun and thanks for stopping by!
