Couture dress

The unique lampshade looks like an elegant designer piece. But all you need are parcel string, a few tube beads and a little skill. Tip: The straighter the lampshade, the easier the knotting will be.

Linen-Look

An airy net of square knots and half knots (jute cord from KnorrPrandell) turn a white bowl (ASA) into a decorative eye-catcher. Metal rings in two different sizes (KnorrPrandell) support the upper edge.

Thread play

Pretty racy, this “string corset” of cotton yarn (Coats)! Square knots accent the “waist” of the vase (ASA) and a metal ring (KnorrPrandell) gives support.

Table topper

Grandmother’s crocheted doily is a thing of the past. This table runner sets modern accents! It is knotted like a net – small beads embellish the frayed thread ends.

Rope party

Would you have guessed that this stylish room divider is made from simple parcel string?! The top is worked with square knots – below it all hangs loosely. The knots sit at different levels and are embellished with shimmering beads for visual interest.

Net work

Cool metal gets all tied up ... White cotton fabric with artistic knots covers the seat and backrest to turn this chair into a conversation piece!
