Make a rope out of what?

1–2 minutes

I have to admit, 99% of the rope on my house is store-bought.

And then I took a cordage class.

Yeah, still a noob, but learning.

And experimenting!

In the class, we learned the basics and tested out the how-to on some dried, and then rehydrated, corn husk.

Yes, I now make eyes at the corn husk trash bag at the grocery store….

My first random experiment was on a dead orchid leaf. I have orchids, so naturally, I have some dead leaves here and there.

Did it work? Not so much. While they seem pretty hearty, when they dry, they are pretty tearable. Sideways.

Will I try it again? Yeah, probably 😂

Corn husk cordage. First go!
