Trendy Alternatives- Twine, String And More

Twine, String And More
By: Mary

Using twine, string, floss, cord and hemp are very popular right now to use on any craft project.


Here are some projects I made using twine, floss, hemp and cord.


Anyone of these products can be substituded for the other.



You can use them on layouts and slide it through a buckle
On this layout I used cord to run through the buckle.


You can use it for banners on layouts or hang the on the wall.
On these layouts I used cord to string the banners.


For wrapping packages or tie a tag
Wrapping this package I tied on some twine.


Add to Buttons
The first button is twine, The middle button is floss, the end button is cord.



Wrap them on cards
I used floss to wrap around this card.


Use them to stitch borders and frames

Decorate your Preserves

The possibilties are endless.
Use your imagination and find creative ways to use the products you have.

Mary, These are great tips! My order came in this afternoon with the Divine Twine. I wanted to wait for it cuz I'm also sending you 20 yards of the Halloween twine since you've been so patient with me! Thanks so much for your order, your blog post, and your support. You don't know how much it means to me!
