How to Make a Lucet Cord

This is something I've wanted to learn to do since I saw a friend doing it but I couldn't figure out how to start it. Thanks for the help. By the way, I don't have a lucet yet; I used a two-tined Tupperware serving fork!

I can't think of a use for a lucet cord in my life but that didn't stop me from greatly enjoying that video and learning something new. Your explanations along with the properly lighted video sure made something that could have been pretty confusing easy to understand. Great post.

I'm sorry, I got here by accident and I got very interested in what you are doing, however I have no idea what it is. Is it a bracelet? keychain?. Excuse my ignorance, but my interest is genuine! 5 stars for the 8 minutes and 40 seconds that you kept my attention.

I usually use it as a drawstring for small fabric bags. You could certainly make a bracelet from it. If you made a keychain, I would be sure that the thread was very durable because of the constant use. Making Lucet cords is a very, very old craft. The cords were used as closures on clothing before buttons and zippers!

I wasn't aware there were video's here for my lucet :) This makes it easier to learn than the instructions I got with mine. Thanks

Wow! This is new... I've never seen this before. thanks!

Thanks! I learned a new and easier way to put the loop over the arm.

thank you so much for making this! the directions i have found on the internet are so confusing. i am defiantly going to be trying this! my only complaint is that this was difficult to watch because the focus of your camera kept changing.

Glad that I helped you - I also had a hard time learning from books or the internet until someone sat down with me and showed me how. Sorry that the focus was a bit off. We made the video for just a few friends until someone suggested that we post it on YouTube. It was the first time that we'd made an up-close video.
