- This only takes 2 minutes to do!!
I know you know how frustrating it is when one end of your drawstring disappears into your clothes and you can't figure out how to get it back out. I'm here to help!
It's really simple, all you need is a safety pin. I'll show you how. ;)

Thank mam. You saved my day. I sincerely appreciate people that take the time to make these videos to help the rest of human mankind.
This was a life saver. I didn't have a safety pen so I used a paper clip and tied a small knot and it worked like a champ!!
I’m so glad some of you are finding success with paper clips! Good work!
all heroes don't wear capes
Ha! This is the best!!
You mean not all heroes wear capes
No he was right the first time lmao, remember The Incredibles?
@@andrehenderson3364 hahha good point
💯💰
Thank you this worked for me. I’ve been struggling for two days to fix my shorts.
You're welcome! Glad it helped you. :)
Thanks a bunch it worked...I didn’t have a safety pin but a paper clip did the trick ....I was seating in my underwear searching up “how to put rope back in pants” lol and ur video popped up ...a real life saver 😅
I taped it to a long wooden coffee stirrer. It was fast. For those if us with little patience.☺ a chopstick would work too.
Ooh, that's a fantastic idea!!
I was thinking about trying something like a skewer or chopstick. I know the safety pin trick, but can’t push it past a seam that runs down the back.
And minutes later, the swim trunks once again have a drawstring!
i came here looking for a way to do this..tried tapping tge string to a chopstick and 2 minutes later it was fixed
try a strong magnet on the safety pin and pull it through from the outside
I didn’t have a safety pin so I improvised with a Bobby pin and it worked just as good thank you soooo much
I'm so glad this hack worked for you!
Lakendra Thomas me tooooo
Lakendra Thomas IM ABOUT TO DO THAT LIL
Finally a straight to the point tutorial.
I struggled for two days even thought about using a wire coat hanger. You, my dear, saved the day.
Ty Young Lady, this was amazing and so helpful. Never ever doubt yourself. you're helping millions believe me. You're amazing 👏 🤩 your a very bright star, and you should know it, but I mean that in the very best way possible 😊 😉 😀 ❤️ 😊 🎉 🕊
Thank you for saving my shorts from the donation pile.
You’re welcome! 🤗
My daughters cheer shorts! Thank you so much!!! Very very much appreciated 💕💕💕
I was going through dresser drawers and found 5 different items without draw strings and almost pitched them. "Wait a minute, I'm going to look on RUclips." Amazing how you can learn just about anything on RUclips. ALSO, I subscribed to your channel. Thanx Ms. Clarity :-) 77 and still learning.
Hi Keith, thanks for your comment and subscribing! I’m happy that you came to RUclips to learn and found my video that helped you. You’re right, you can learn just about anything here!
Take care, and keep learning!! 😀
Thank you for this I have been trying to re-thread my pant string for over 45 minutes
5 years later I have come for your wisdom thank you much
You can also use the aglet (plastic tip) point the tip up with the bottom down and push, then push the tip down and push the bottom while it sticks up. Its slower and probably better if the drawstring retracts halfway in the guide loop. Couldnt find a safety pin so had to improvise. The purplish blue highlight in your video made my day by the way
I knew smart people on RUclips would help me! :D ;) Thank you! :)
Thank you for your helpful tip. I just was able to rethread a drawstring that was completely out of a pair of athletic pants. The safety pin was the key! It really works.
Hi Nancy, I'm so glad this helped you! :) Yay for working drawstrings!
This saved me so much time, and my sanity. Thank you!
Oh geesh, what a simply clever technique! Thanks!
You're welcome! :)
6 years ago but still so helpful. Thank you!!! ❤
🤯 Ma'am! I found some random paper clips in my house recently, and just tried this. I've thrown so many shorts away when the drawstring comes out in the laundry, but you just saved the life of my favorite pair. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I don’t comment on RUclips videos but I had to thank you because I had been struggling for a whole week with this and this worked seamlessly. Thank you so much
Thanks for this! I'm making a new drawstring for an old skirt and I couldn't for the life of me remember if I needed to double the cord if I could just measure the waistband and account for the excess I wanted.
I used a plastic coated paper clip, inserting it twice through the draw string, then bending it shut, and bending the opposite end into a nice curve to slide and not hang up. But GREAT inspiration and HERE'S to you!! (It helped that I couldn't find a safety pin! LOL!)
How creative!! I’m glad you found something that worked for you. Thanks for watching!
Your method worked but since I couldn't find a safety pin I use a paperclip but it still did the job
Awesome! I'm so glad you made it work!
You saved me the cost of purchasing new fleece pants. Ty.
bro thank you so much your an angel! i just bought some very soft fleece pajama pants and the drawstring snapped and i usually order a large size so they can be baggy and i was so stressed out because everywhere i would walk the pants would almost fall off. this took lots of attemps but it was definitely worth it THANK YOU
You're so pretty!
It worked great, thank you. The only thing I did differently was put tape around the safety pin to prevent it from opening while threading it through.
Ha!! Lookie here, I was mad the shorts I received had no string. Now I can fix that problem. Thanks!
worked easily and was actually fun doing it ! Thank you so much you saved me at time ! ❤️
Bless you woman! Just threaded an old shoe string through an old hoodie thanks to you!
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! 🙏🏻 I didn’t had a safety pin but I did had a paper clip so I used that instead. I was worried because my pants were a thicker material and the drawstring is just a long flat piece of silk but it worked and my hands hurts now. I tried to watch other videos which had different methods but they did not help. Like I was stuck for a whole month on these pants and because of your video, not only did I fixed them but I also saved like $10 so thank you so much.
Hi Alyssa, I'm so glad you made it work! It's a great feeling to save money by putting in some effort. Thanks for watching!
OMG thank you this helped I have been struggling for a month trying to fix my shorts and I finally fixed them with you truck
Oh my gosh I Love You!!! I have been trying to re-thread my sweat pants for the longest. Then as always that light bulb went off in my head and I saw the words YOU-TUBE in neon lights and sure enough the answer I needed, You were the ONLY tutorial I needed, worked like a charm, Thank You!!!
Thank you for this video. I just purchased two new pairs of shorts online and when one of them came out of the washer on the very first wash, the string was out. I had no idea what to do. This was very fast and painless;)
Hi Mike, that’s frustrating, I’m glad you were able to fix them!
Its a fantastic idea and it worked
Genius! I was faffing about with a pen, chopsticks etc and couldn’t get them all the way to the end. This was much easier!
Omg I just tried this by taping the ribbon to a chopstick and got it to the other end!! This hack works
Just did this with a paperclip because I couldn't find a safety pin, thank you soo much! My urban camo And1 shorts are good to go.
I’m so glad I discovered this tutorial❤️ this helped me retread my sleep shorts thank you so much👍
Thank you! 🙏 I tried this method on my Adidas joggers & it worked a treat! It didn’t take long to do either!
Thank you been trying to figure out how to do this since as a kid ❤
I freakin love all of these alternatives to using a safety pin down here in the comments! I can feel the joy and relief from here.
Good video, too, btw :). Short and sweet
The real reason why I love RUclips. Thanks a lot!
Saved me a lot of time, such a logical and fast fix. Thank you
Hey lady before I watch your video, I knew I had too use a safety pin but didn't know how to thread it, now I Know thank you very much, scr
Genius yet simple. Thanks
great video.. i dont have to throw out my new shorts now. and you are beautiful!
I think part of the secret here is to use a larger safety pin when pulling it through. I had to use a safety pin which was almost 2 inches long, worked like a breeze. Than tie a knot on the end of the string so it wont pull out again.
Yes! A larger safety pin would definitely make it easier. 👍
That worked like a charm! This is my go-to going forward... thanks.
Thanks a lot you saved my hundreds of rupees, keep helping mankind
Best video out there, lol I needed this for my Gucci pants that are too thicc to get a wire or stick too work. Its literally just gotta be worked with the finger through just like this
Good job!!
Just the Video I Was Looking For - INGENIOUS...!💃👍
Glad you found your answer here!! 🥳✨
It worked! Took about 15 min. Hubby happy. Thank you.
Genius!!! Thank you for doing this. I had been working on another method for 20 minutes.
Try also telling people to aim for the bottom of the fabric layers too especially if 😅 it's their first time ⏲️ 😅 doing this particular method. lol XD 😂 other than that ty once again, you're amazing 👏 🤩 😊 🎉 🕊
This was the problem with my winter coat that had a hood string. The material was to heavy for the hair pin or paper clip method.
I tried the 'straw method" That did not work because the straw fit to tight in the gourmet. Then I tried to push the string through with a small metal rod that I cut from an old wire close hanger. That almost worked. I got an inch away from the other side and gave up.
Then! Then I pulled the whole string out, taped the end of the string to the end of the wire ( I used scotch tape) and pushed it through in about 10 seconds. So there you have it. easy peasy.
Amazing hack. Was planning to use a bbq stick to push the string but will end up breaking the shorts. This is so much easier and safer for my shorts. Hahaha. Tnx
YOU DA REAL MVP! 👏
I have a brand new UFC Venum sweatpants. The first wash literally ripped the string out...
Nice job..now a can save all my clothes ..thank you.
Yes, that’s why I made the video! 😀👍 You’re welcome!
Thank you you kind soul. I have plenty of safety pins around my apartment. I didn't really want to buy a drawstring rethreader 🙏
That was so simple and effective. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad it worked for you!
in addition to the tips, I find your vids great to practice my English pronunciation skills lol...something about your articulation and looks, it's soothing :)
+music obs How sweet, thank you! What is your first language?
I'm from southeastern Europe :)
Thank u! This was the reason the internet was invented! Sensational!
Beautiful!…& the tip was good too 👍🙂
Great tip!! Now I won't spend 2 hours trying to get it through! lol Thank you C.C. !! 😁👌
+Danber's You're welcome! Hope it comes in handy sometime!
Oh my goodness this works I tried it with a bobby pin still amazing thx🙏
this worked for me a few minutes ago thanks a lot
Thank you…………. I’m not having any luck restring using; clothes hangers, small wood dowel, tree branches, or glueing the string to a pellet and trying to shoot it through. I will give the safety pin a try………😁
Worked great, I had a big pink baby safety pin. Only glitch was the first time thtough I pulled up all the slack and pulled out the first end.
Problem solved for now on this is life changing
I just watched your video and decided to try it on my son's football shorts and it worked a treat in under 5 mins thanks very much
So glad the video helped you, and you saved the shorts!
you're a literal angel thank you 😭😭 i just ordered sweatpants and my dumbass somehow pulled the drawstring out ☠️☠️
Thanks I have many of the pins so I’ll try this at home
Thank you for reminding me of this technique.
I did hit a snag along the way, though. The head of the safety pin could not get through. At each quarter of the way of these shorts are additional material inside the corridor through which the string can go, but not the head of the safety pin.
Thank you. You just saved me another 25 minutes.
Yes!! 🤗
It worked! I didn’t have a safety pin so I used a Bobby pin! 🥳
Thank you!! I almost donated my good adidas trackpants because the washer machine took the strings out after I tripled double tied it!!
Goat. The other dood wanted me to use a wire coat hanger. Who even has those anymore sheesh.
Thanku so much, your video helped me a lot in midnight

That worked fantastically. Thank you.
Good job! I’m happy it worked for you!
I used the safety pin then pushed it to the limit using the chopstick then when the chopstick reached its maximuk, I pushed the safety pin little by little. Thanks for this tip!
