Make Your Own: Baker’s Twine!

 

This is a great and Easy Tutorial Cannot believe it. How to make your own Bakers Twin!!!

Ok so there is a small problem. The Article {blog} that i got this from is no longer available for violation of some terms. So in a brief few words I will tell you how to make this {non-food safe – for decoration only} Bakers Twin.

 

Get one of those big Balls of White String at your local craft store.

Unwind some and wrap closely on a board so the strings are close together.

Then take your most favorite color & draw 3 thick line up and down the string. Flip to other side and do the same. Let dry completely. You can even use a hair dryer to make the process go faster.
When dry unwind and you have got yourself some really cool handmade Bakers Twin. Make it any other color you like and get to craftin.

Tie on tags, use for your bags, wrap presents. Tell your friends that this is just a little more added love of handmade for everyone!!!

Happy Crafting Friends.
