Answer 1

Swedish Love Knots

Materials Required:

1-90" piece of rope

wire

ribbon

silk or dry flowers

Swedish Love Knot Card

hot glue gun

　

Directions:

1. Tie a knot in each end of rope.

2. Submerge rope in water for 10 seconds. Shake off excess water. (This is suggested to get the kinks out of the rope.)

3. Fold rope in half (View 1).

4. Holding the knotted ends together in your left hand, make a loop, placing the unknotted end behind the section you are holding (View 2). Adjust ropes until loop is lying flat.

5. Make another loop by threading rope through the back of first loop, placing the unknotted end on top of the section you are holding (View 3). Adjust ropes until loop is lying flat.

6. Make final loop by threading rope through back of second loop, laying unknotted end on top of section you are holding (View 4). Adjust ropes until loop is lying flat.

7. Adjust loops until all loops are proportionally the same.

8. Lay the folded end of rope on top of the knotted ends. Using floral wire, wrap snuggly and securely 3-4 times, making sure the Love Knot will not un-knot.

9. Snip ends of wire inbetween rope.

10. Hot glue Swedish Love Knot Card onto back side.

11. Decorate with ribbon and flowers.

12. Hang on your wall or give to a friend.
