Flower ampel in Cotton Light – Twine tie.

In this DROPS video we show how we can easily create a flower ampel. We have used 3 different colors in Cotton Light (lime no 29, khaki no 12 and brown no 22). Make 5 ties as follows: Cut 1 thread of each color à 6 1/2 yard (600 cm), fold then double and twine the threads together until they resist, fold the tie double so that it twines again. The ties measurement approx 105 cm (in the video we make a much shorter tie). Make a new tie where the thread (1 of each color) is 13 yards (1200 cm). Tie a knot with all 6 ties at one at the end, so that it becomes a tassel about 4 3/4" (12 cm). Tie then 2 and 2 ties together, follow the video for further instructions. Size / shape of flower ampel you use, determines the distance the nodes must have. About 8" (20 cm) from the end begin to use the long tie to wrap around the other 5 ties. Wrap around until it is about 1" (2.5 cm) again. Fold the ties that are spun together double, continue to wrap around all 11 , fasten the long tie into all ties (2 and 2 threads tog).
