Start Simple...
There’s really no wrong way to Stringable, but endless ways TO Stringable...
To get the hang of it start with something simple, like the star on the right, then let your imagination run wild!
A few tips & techniques
-
Up / Down pattern:
The basic Up/Down pattern. Simply thread up through one hole, down the next, and repeat. To double it up, just reverse it! Tip: Repeat patterns. For instance, in the above example, the Stringer always came up on the left of the first string, and down on the right.
-
Loop the edges:
A very simple technique, simply thread through a hole on the outer edge of your Stringable, loop around the edge, then thread through the next hole.
The top half in the photo above is a single loop, the bottom is a double loop.
-
Up / Down crossover:
For this one, run the string over multiple holes, then preform the Up/Down pattern while crossing over the first string.
The top is a single Up/Down, the bottom is a double Up/Down.
