Faux Bakers Twine from The Frugal Crafter
I love plain cotton thread (#10 crochet cotton) and have it in a bunch of different colors. I have even twisted a couple colors together to make it look more bakers twine-ish. But now that I have seen this tutorial from The Frugal Crafter, I have an even better way to to make faux Bakers Twine.
When I first saw the finished product, I thought it looked like way to much work! Did they just eyeball the spacing? Then I watched this video:
You wrap it around a ruler and draw some vertical lines with a permanent marker and Voila! Your own homemade Baker's Twine.
