Total Time Needed: 1 Hour
Personalize a favorite walking stick with a braided grip and wrist strap that are as comfortable as an old T-shirt.
Materials
- Old T-shirt
- Scissors
- Wooden beads
- Walking stick
Instructions
- Tear or cut an old T-shirt into 1-inch-wide strips. Tie the strips end to end to create three strips, roughly 2 yards long.
- Thread a bead (or two or three) onto the end of each strip and tie a knot in the strip to hold the bead in place.
- Tie all three strips together about 4 inches from the beads. Braid the strips.
- Make a wrist strap with the end closest to the beads by tying off a loop big enough for a hand to fit through.
- Hold the loop against the walking stick and thread the other end of the braid through the middle of the loop. Pull tight.
- Tightly wrap the rest of the braid around the top 6 inches or so of the walking stick to form a grip. Tie off the braid by looping the end through the last few wraps.
