DCWS Meeting: March 28th

 HANDS ON DEMO - FRINGES AND CORDS

Helen demonstrated how to do fringes and cords. We also had the possibility to practice.

There are 2 main ways to make fringes. 

1. Twisting the fringes by hand. Watch the whole video below. Helen is showing us how to maintain the uniformity of the fringes.





2. The second way to make fringes is to use a 'Fringe Twister'. Did you know that the 'Fringe Twister' sold by Leclerc was invented on the Vancouver Island? Again, Helen is demonstrating. See below.




How to make cords

Helen is showing us! It's easy!!!

1. Do the setup using the 'Rope Maker' (PDF description file available HERE ).




2. Twist and make the knots.


Thanks Helen for organizing and demonstrating how to make fringes and cords.
