    If you really want to upcycle, use a braided rag rope method, use old clothing pants and shirts (adult) work well or old sheets, any fabric will work. I would suggest to use different types of fabric, colors ect. tshirt rope could work but having tshirt with other more stiffer material would work better. can be very colorful chiar, and much cheaper than having to buy something.

    I tried this today and it turned out nicely. Thanks for showing the constrictor knot up close. Definitely had to do that one multiple times. The cost of para cord probably is more than a new chair, but it’s more about the fixing and diverting from landfill part. I used 200 ft for the warp and 100 ft for the weft. FYI.

    Here’s a tip to make your weaving a bit easier.
    In your local Walmart or craft store yarn section, purchase the longest size “K/6.50mm” Tunisian or double ended crochet hook you can find.
    Once you have your warp (teal cord) completed, use the hook to weave the weft (pink cord) through by the loop end. It will make the process much easier for you.
    Thank you for sharing your craft with everyone.

      Sure. But Tunisian hooks are much longer. I have even made a few for myself & friends, using 1/4” & 1/2” 3 foot crafting dowel rods found in most craft stores. One of those would span the entire width of the chair.

      Also he’s absolutely terrible at explaining how to weave. You would be better off and learn more by watching hand textile weavers. And if you plan your weave and measure before hand like with certain textile weaves you won’t run out of cord and need to make the unnecessary knots (like in the corners where you could wrap it and hide it in on the underside of the frame in the pink wrap) which could cause weak points and un raveling. Just a thought though.

    Not familiar with working with this type of cord so I was wondering... When you cut the cord, does it tend to unravel? How do you stop that? Is the cord made of something you could singe with a flame to melt it a little to keep it from unravelling? I would like to try that on a chair I have of a different style (when it gets shabbier of course).

      Paracord is a tube of nylon fabric over nylon threads, if you want it to "flatten out" you can pull the white threads out. Easily seal the cut end with heat, just don't catch it on fire!

    • @ParacordPlanet
      @ParacordPlanet  3 года назад +2

      You could totally do this with rope! Keep in mind that if you use a natural fiber like cotton, it will degrade more quickly when left outside. The paracord that we use is about 1/8" wide, but you could use thicker or thinner depending on your preference. Natural fibers would look great in the weave used in rush chairs. Alternatively you could use something like a synthetic macramé cord.

    With four chairs to do I haven't got the patients. Too difficult!

    Paracord es carísimo. Por que yo rompería mi silla de jardín y utilizaría una cuerda más cara que la silla misma.
