Ever need a certain color twine for that certain party decor? Never finding the right color or color combination to complete your project?
Well now with our DIY twine you can custom make your own twine to your needs. We used red and blue for July 4th but imagine using black and orange for Halloween and green and red for Christmas?
Combine your favorite colors, rainbow, navy and pink or yellow and grey for the perfect accent to any decor!
Here are the steps to making your own twine:
start with a roll of white twine
2 rulers
colored permanent markers of your choice
scissors and tape
Carefully wrap the twine around the ruler. Tape the ends down to stay put.
Using your markers, we used red and blue for the 4th of July, draw a straight line against your second ruler going slowly enough to saturate the twine.
Once dry you are ready to use your twine however you wish!!
We made pom poms out of ours and drink decor!
See the Martha Stewart site for the pom pom how to.
We are beyond thrilled to have our twine featured on Martha Stewart Craftwebsite today!!
What would be your favorite color combination?
