How do you make the knot in gimp?

Answer 1

Well, there are different types of knots such as the box stitch and the zipper.

Box Stitch:

1. Take two strands of gimp that are the same length.

2. Find the middle of both and place it on a flat surface making it a plus sign.

3. Then choose one of the colours and bring it over to the other side forming a loop.

4. Do the same with the same colour on the other side.

5. The with the other colour, on both sides, take it over the first loop and under the other.

6. Then, pull all of the strands together.

7. Keep repeating until you are at the finish or whenever you want to finish.

Zipper:

1. Take three strands of gimp, two the same size and one three times longer than the other two.

2. Tie any type of knot at the end of the three pieces of gimp together.

3. Line up all the strands of gimp.

4. Take the strand on the right side, bring it over the strand in the middle and under the strand at the left side.

5. Now do the same using the same strand of gimp but starting on the left side.

6. Pull a little after each over and under.

7. After you are done tie the same knot you did at the top.

8. Then cut of the tips to make it look nicer.

I hope this helped!
