Fabric Scrap Twine
I don’t know why I didn’t try this technique sooner. Really! This funky boho twine is so cute and can be used in a myriad of ways. I LOVE IT. If you haven’t tried making fabric scrap twine before, and if you have an abundant stash of fabric remnants (of course you do), then there’s no time like the present. Let’s do this.
Tear or cut scrap fabric into strips that are about 1″ wide. Tie two strips together at one end with a knot.
While holding the fabric strips taut, start twisting one of the strips in a motion that is “away from your body.”
When the twisted area is about 1-2 inches long, pull the strip in towards you and over the untwisted strip.
Then begin twisting the second strip in the same fashion. Once twisted in a 1-2 inch length, pull that strip forward and over.
Repeat this process over and over. Once you get to the end of strip, it is easy to extend the length by adding a new fabric strip. The video below shows you just how easy this process is in making fabric scrap twine.

I'm going to try this with clothes I no longer use. I'm thinking making plant hangers and a rug.
