How to Make Bramble Cordage

Here WoodlandsTV and We be Kids shows you how to make bramble cordage. You will need secateurs and some leather gloves to protect your hands from the bramble spikes! This is a great activity you can do with the kids on a day out in the woods.

Your video is a great resource for nature-weaving enthusiasts. It's included in our recent roundup on the Textile Indie website. I'm working on a blackberry basket project, so this was very helpful.

Thank you for sharing! I made my first cordage today from thin strips of cotton fabric. It’s so cool how that twisting technique is so quickly learnt. Honestly, I thought it would be more difficult. Anyway, I want to move on to wild fibers this summer. Thanks again 🫶

Thank you so much for the comment, lovely to hear and I hope it goes well when it, eventually, warms up here!

Just want to ask, is there a particular reason for twisting each piece and then doing one turn on the cord like this? It seems slower than simply rolling both lines down your thigh and then letting several cord twists happen at once, so I'm wondering if maybe this makes a stronger cord? Loved the video, will be trying this myself later in the year :)

I think this way ensures a tighter cord

If you do it that way it'll unravel itself, by twisting both strands in opposite directions they pull on each other and hold each other in place so it doesn't naturally unravel
