I’ve noticed a growing interest in doing rope crafts. Why is this? Well, for one, it’s pretty cool to be able to create some amazing art. However, I think there are numerous other reasons why you’d want to do them.
I do a ton of rope crafts. I did one of these up in Portland last weekend where I made a model of a catamaran, a boat that actually floats. And to make money I sell my models, which I make from found objects.
This is a craft that I grew up learning about in my teens and will always bring me back. It’s a fun way to learn to make things. Even if you don’t want to do the actual building, making it with your hands can be a lot of fun. I’ve seen a lot of people do this and it’s a lot of fun.
I’m not much of a boat person, but I do have a lot of experience with models, and I did make a catamaran off the back of a model I made for a friend. I even had a model of it on hand to show! And I’ve had plenty of people ask me to make them as well, and I’ve always been happy to make them, just not as much as I was hoping.
If you like making things, rope crafts can be a lot of fun. You can make it a lot more complicated than this, but it is still very easy. All you really need is a piece of wood and a few small pieces of string, and a couple of hooks. Then you can make an easy string bow, a simple catamaran, or a few other things that make great gifts. It’s very easy to get started and is a great way to learn an art form.
If you don’t have the time to make rope crafts, you can always make them with string. I’ve been making rope bows and catamarans for years and years, just without string. I just use a small length of rope, a hook, and a couple of small pieces of string to make them. You can also make a variety of other rope crafts (see the website for some ideas).
I know some of you have been asking about the new rope art for this site. I have been doing rope crafts for years now, but I have been thinking about starting a new blog about it. I was going to make a link about it here, but that would be too much work. So here it is. Soak your fingers in the water and have fun.
I will also be starting a new blog where I will be posting my rope art and crafts, so keep an eye here for that.
Yes, yes, I know this is a bit of a new story and all, but I can’t wait to see more! I’m really looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
I can’t wait to see more, and I hope that you can as well.
