                                     Rope Grommet
                 To make the Rope Grommet, use a single strand of natural fiber rope
                 that has been unlayed but retains its spiral shape. Use a length about
                 three and a half times the circumference of the Grommet you want
                 to make.


                 1   Make a circle out of the center section, and start wrapping one of
                     the ends just as you would start a Multiple Overhand Knot.






















                 2   Continue these wraps, following the natural spiral shape of the
                     strands, all the way around the circle. At this point, it should look
                     like a ring of three-strand rope with one strand missing.
