Wedding Cord

My mother instructed me not to have a beaded wedding cord. Take note, instructed. An order from my mother. No choice but to obey it. Haha. She has a meaningful explanation indeed. She said that the wedding cord binds the couple together and having a beaded cord would mean that it is much easier to break than the traditional cord. I understood the meaning of it and I am happy to oblige.

Materials:
  1. Cord (5 yards) - 65PhP per yard from Carolina's
  2. Felt
  3. Magic Tape
  4. Glue
  5. Keychain (Letter Initials) - 60PhP each from 168 Mall in Divisoria
  6. Connector
  7. O rings
  8. Crucifix - 30PhP per pack (2 pieces) from Wellmanson
Tools:
  1. Glue gun
  2. Scissors
I used the triple crown knot to knot the cord. Instructions can be found here.

Knot the cord

Before cutting the excess cord, seal with Magic Tape first. Cut the excess then seal again using a piece of felt and glue gun.
Attach the connector to the ends of the cord then remove the Magic Tape. Attach the silver initials to the loop with O rings.


Mission Accomplished
