Wired Twine

Sharing helps others too!

Wired twine is terrific! It comes in 70-foot and 673-foot rolls. But what if you only need 3 feet? Here’s how to make 3 feet of wired twine.

Someday, we may need 678 feet string with wire inside. Until that day comes, I’ll make it.

Farmhouse decor uses a lot of burlaps, drop cloths, twines, and rusty stuff.
So, today I’m combining rusty baling wire with thick twine, but just making 3 feet.

Supplies

By the way, this is easy! I took me 5 minutes, including stopping to get the pups a treat.

Most rope, twine, and wrapped cording have three smaller threads.

• 3 feet of twine 1/4 inch thick
• 3 feet of baling wire
• Couple pieces of painters tape

Directions

Open the threads bit and add the wire between and into the center.
Add a piece of tape to hold in place.

My simple tip when you’re wrapping the weaving yarns or whatever; Gather into a ball or small circle to make a loose bundle. Hold together with painter’s tape.

Keep untwisting the rope, inserting the wire, and letting the threads close back over the wire.

After a couple of minutes or halfway, stop and give the dogs a treat, put something out for dinner, or answer the door.

DIY always has interruptions!

Take another minute, and finish, before the phone rings.

I keep extra twine and cording handy in my rustic crate.

Twine makes great pumpkin stems too.

I can now use the wired twine for a simple wreath, drape from the mantel with book page leaves or twist into fall leaves to add shape.
