DIY Words with jute twine + 10 Awesome DIY Twine projects to try

Today I am sharing with you something which I wanted to try for long time.Ya ! Those rope words.After having seen them in many places , I myself have asked the questions like , Do they really get stiffer and stand on its own? will they not come apart? Will the paste be that strong? To answers all those questions, I gave a try on this DIY rope words.Lets see ,How it turned out.

Materials required 

Wax paper / any plastic sheet 

Marker

Jute twine / or any twine

1 1/2 warm water , 1 cup Corn startch, 1 cup all purpose flour ,

1 cup craft glue & 1 teaspoon salt --> for paste

Step 1: Write the word you want to try in the plastic sheet with the marker in cursive letters, so that you will know how the rope should go.(as shown below)

Step 2: Prepare the mixtue without any lumps and soak the twine in the mixture. You can actually make a mixture with half the quantity specified above . As it is a small project you definitely don't need that much.

Step 3: The twine need not be soggy but it should be completely coated with the mixture to retain the shape.So squeeze out the excess mixture and write the letters with twine on the plastic sheet.

Step 4: Use any small piece of wire for shaping , if your twine gets twisted. For me , the end of the speech bubble was twisting and creating a loop(Picture above) , so I took a wire in "V" shaped and wrapped the twine on it.Be sure, to overlap the twine on the places like the start of "W" on the lines of the speech bubble. If it doesn't overlap then , you will not get a complete form to hang it.(I didn't do this in the start but I made it after sometime, forgot to take picture:( .You can see it in the final result).

I would suggest you to chose small words instead of large words or use thicker rope or use thinner twine twice the time for larger words. I am insisting you this, because you can notice the words are little curvy inside the speech bubble.If you want to avoid this, do it twice.So that , it will be stiffer.

I am happy with the end result.:) The words are stiffer enough to stand on its own and I got my doubts clarified. As we are renting a house in upstairs , we don't have a front porch or something to hang this, but we have a small wall in between the connecting room when we open the entry door, so I have hung this in that area.I think this would be perfect for "Fall".You can "Welcome" fall with this cute twine project.
