Loop Buttoner

Originally used to fasten Buttons it would be fed through a Buttonhole, hooked around the Button and pulled back through the Hole, this makes a useful Tool for many Types of Knot-Tying.

You need a Handsbreadth perforated Metall-Strip and a Cubit of Wire.

To cut the Metall-Strip pinch both Sides with a Bolt-Cutter and bend fore and back until snapped off.

Use a File to Round-Off all sharp Edges.

Don't forget the Holes.

Cut off about a Cubit of Wire.

If you use Electrical-Wire strip off the Insulation.

Take the Ends together and bend in Half.

Leave a round Loop do not bend sharp, it would be difficult to push Strings through.

Weave the Wire into the Metall-Strip.

Do one End at a Time and use Pliers to pull and push the Wire flat.

If desired leave the last Hole free to attach a String or hang on a Nail.

Cut the Wire in the Middle of the last Hole so the Ends don't stick out on the other Side

Use it to pull Cord through Knots when you do Mats, Turks-Heads or similar,

to keep Twine-Balls together just pull the End through.

A Hint:

If you use Copper Wire you can hammer to stiffen and anneal to soften it.
