Last Christmas I made about a dozen of them and I still managed to get lost at times.<br /><br />I'd also suggest trying a miniature version first, essentially what is shown in the grommet tutorial- Get a small steel ring (say 1 1/2" diameter) at a hardware store and two colors of string (paracord or something similar, about 1/8" diameter cord). The steel ring will be easier to work with because it's rigid. The rope version requires a bit of man handling, but if you can grasp the concept at a small scale it will be much easier to follow.<br /><br />If you get the the full size wreath, I'd suggest making one a little smaller than what is shown in the picture. The one I make most often is about 14 inches in diameter. I use 3 pieces of rope- The core is made from a 15 foot piece of rope coiled 4 times. The wraps are both about 26 or 27 feet (I'd suggest going a little long for your first try - nothing worse than running out of rope!). The actual knot exactly follows the tutorial shown in the grommet post- 5 passes, twice around, and then interweave the opposite piece of rope. I use zip ties as temporary holds to keep things together. I can make one in about an hour, but I would anticipate your first attempt taking at least twice that. <br /><br />I guess I ought to get a video together at some point. Unfortunately I am pressed for time. Hopefully next year! Merry Christmas to all!

Looking at some websites, some folks recommend putting the cord in the dryer after soaking the cord. I would be concerned about ending up with a tangled mess using a dryer. <br /><br />For the ends, on this project I ended up melting the ends and carefully sticking them to the back of the knot.
