What you will need

  • One flexible knotting cord; green is shown.
  • A gridded pin board, pins, a pointed tool and small pliers.

Record what works for your cord

Write down its type, diameter and starting length, then the size after tightening. The printed result helps you compare the outline; it does not set the physical scale or show the hidden route. Follow the demonstration for threading and gradual tightening.

The editable SVG is a silhouette extracted from the filmed finished piece. Use it for a greeting or color plan, and compare the real photograph whenever you need the exact cord detail.
