How to Make Paper Rope or Cord

- Yes you read that right I did say paper rope. Paper after all is made from tree fibers and while it is not the the fastest cording to make it is fun, uses recycled materials and is totally junk for our junk journals.

Hi, thanks for the video. I don't know if you realize it, but the way you are twisting, is the way Senegalese twists, an African/or African-American hairstyle is done. If you search on TH-cam "how to do Senegalese twists," you'll see what I mean.
Because I watched a lot of those videos , I have a suggestion for an easier, though not necessarily faster, way of doing this. Take some string, or cotton twine, and wrap it around two legs of a chair, or the back of a chair. You want to have room between the string, and your fingers, because you need to be able to manipulate the paper. Tighten the string or cord around the chair back so that it's taut. After you cut the paper into strips, open it lengthwise, and then drape it over the string. Depending on how long the paper is, or how you're going to use it, you can either fold it so they're equal length on both sides of the string, or uneven. If uneven when you twist, it will gradually narrow, and that can be pretty. Do the same twist sequence that you did with the paper in the video. Do an entire row, so that the twists fills the space, or do as much as you need. When you're done, untie or cut the string from the back of the chair, and then slide your Twisted paper off.
Doing it this way you can use both hands, twisting both legs of the twist at the same time. Also you don't have to use one hand to keep this paper stable.
Good luck. I feel really inspired. I've been looking for paper twine or cord online. Because of supply issues, lots of things are out of stock, or not the color I need. This way I can make my own. Thanks again!
I am trying to lessen my waste this Christmas so I am trying to recycle my paper bags. I hope this can be done on them.
Thank you! This is so informative.
this is exactly what I was looking for to make some safe rope for my DIY parrot toys. thank you!
Glad I could help!
Same!
Same!
Same! They destroy their toys wayyy too quickly
Yes, that is COOL!! Especially when we make something ALL handmade. Nobody would believe we HANDMADE the rope!!! Gonna try this. Thanks.
Have fun! let me know how it goes
I started doing this a week ago, before i daw your video, remembering that i was taught this method for nettle cordage originally. I screw the paper up first then undo it snd it makes it softer and easier to twist.
Wow brilliant idea ❤❤❤❤❤stay blessed and connected friend
This is so cool. I literally just learned about fabric and paper ropes today and I really want to make some for myself.
oh I hope you had fun making some
Thank you for your precise and necessarily detailed instructions, I really enjoyed your lovely calm voice and generous style. I now have all the information I was after and more, I'm now even more inspired than when I got here! This was Thank Goodness! the first link I clicked when I searched for paper rope, you saved me from spending hours down a rabbit hole of boggy blogs and less well put together videos. Now with all that time I saved I'm going to check out what other wonderful things you do. Thank you for sharing so valuably. 💓
Usually when we do the reverse wrap we start with a single piece with a loop folding the material in half but I really like the thickness of the cordage that you're showcasing here. These are outstanding. Cordage is essential for survival purposes. This is like an urban Bushcraft lesson for me. And you really don't have to show much I just wanted to see if paper would manipulate the same way that other materials do.
I love the tissue paper rope, really pretty and would be fun to use.
I really really like the pattern tissue it even ties nice
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
This is amazingly simple and PERFECT for a craft idea I had bouncing around in my head! Thank you for sharing.
Ah, well, my paper just keeps ripping......
You are so welcome!
try cutting your paper on the diagonal and if it is still ripping you might need to find a lighter weight paper until you get the hang of it
When I teach Bushcraft because I use this for bow string on deer sinew or plant fibers I teach people pinch scissor twist.
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing this skill w/us,& for the inspiration! I now have several ideas of how to try using this to decorate other projects I wanted to do...
Genius and so beautiful! I saved and shared. 😍🐞🥰
You're the best! thank you
Great video thank you! I'm going to use your tips to make paper rope to then make parrot toys with 😁😁
That is awesome!
🙂nice tutorial, you made it simple, thank you 😊
Thank you❤
Good evening 👋😊 Tanya way too cool 😎 thank you for sharing stay safe and be safe careful 🙏🖌️🎨✍️💌
👋thank you glad you liked it
Brilliant. I love it. I am thinking it would look great around the edges of a journal for a man. thank you for sharing I will try it ha ha ha meaning it will take me several tries to either get it or give up
It ok no one will make fun of you for having a diary... lol jk but i always call it a journal lmao
Great idea! and just keep trying everything is a bit tricky at first
yes I call mine a journal
Awesome video Lil lady.. I'm using ur vid as my guide. Thank you kindly
Thank you so much! Great video ❤️
This is so neat… thx 🤩
I rarely watch TV or movies, but I could be making twisted paper ropes while watching TH-cam! The rare times I am upstairs watching something on the television, the lighting isn't good enough for most projects, but this one wouldn't need good lighting
I rarely actually watch TV just videos and such most of the time as well. and yes once you get the hang of the twisting you do not need to really see it
Thank u❤
Thank you for this tutorial. I am going to make some gift bags and I wanted to use white paper handles. I think if I try to use the regular tissue paper you put inside the gift bag will work.
Thankyou! This is giving me good ideas!
oh awesome that it is giving you ideas
This video speed is so slow so I watched this video in 2x speed 😂😂😂
How interesting .something new to learn. Coloring it would be interesting also . Have you ever taken three pieces after twisting it and braided it ? Thanks so much.
"too thick and too heavy" for what? for some large decorations, on upcycled furniture, that thickness is exactly what I need.
"twist this away from us" and "the individual pieces we twist away from us, [...] and then we twist the two towards us" - why is that? will that give more stability to the yarn - that is keep it from unraveling? or will it make it stronger? or just for aesthetics?
I love the fact that you bring pieces together without glue - haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure glue will make stiffer bits through out the length and make the yarn less pliable.
thanks for sharing - I was looking for a tutorial like this for years!!
Great thankyou 🌹🌹
You’re welcome 😊
I have done this with fabric never seen it with paper. Cool wonder if I could spin it on my wheel! Lol
I have not ever tried it myself. I have seen people spin it on a spindle, but never on a wheel, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Give it a try and let us know.
As I am sure you have seen I had already done the video with fabric too. and you have to let me know if it works on the wheel
hmm a spindle would sure make it easier to spin I might have to see if I can find the one I made long long ago and give it a try
Nice, tfs
Thank you too
Do you think this can be a bag handle? We're doing an eco-bag and I'm looking forward for this paper rope to be our bag handle, but I'm not sure if it can be a bag handle tho
I would worry that it would get damp and fall apart it is pretty strong and maybe braided it would work but it is not going to hold up for long I don't think. Let me know how it works if you try it.
with all the delivery boxes I am getting I have hundreds of feet of brown paper what can I make with it?
I use it for pages in journals and covers it is fabulous
