Lori I have a few questions about making these. Do you mind?

When you tie the strings of material do you alternate where you tie it? I mean like, do you stagger it around the pole? Ok that didn't make any sense did it? I can't figure out how you tied them. Did you tie several on top of each other or did you just make one tie and work your way up the pole?

Oh I guess I will just get some scraps and a dowl and see what kind of trouble I can get into. LOL

**captclearance** · 09-25-2002, 01:52 AM

I tied them on one at a time and staggered the treads...yes that made perfect sense to me...... I mashed it down a bit to fit lots of them on ....I hope that makes sense to you....

**dolphin** · 09-25-2002, 11:18 AM

Thanks Lori. It does make sense.

BTW. Is this the type of craft that you make to sell? They are just so cute I bet you could sell a lot of these.

**captclearance** · 09-25-2002, 12:26 PM

I just am not sure what to sell them for...... I only have about $1.25 in them....

**SewCrafty** · 09-26-2002, 01:38 PM

Lori, they are beautifu! Do not sell yourself short! I have done crafts for years and I know how much work goes into each project you do. You may no be able to get your time and effort back in the price, but I would charge at least $10 each. Depending on your area and the different crafts offered at shows.

Best of luck!
