Let's Handmade the "Red String" of Destiny ♡

A classic shooting item for pre-wedding photography in traditional Japanese attire: the "red string" *Items made with red string (wire) in the shapes of "LOVE," "Ume Musubi," "Kotobuki," etc.♡

It is based on the saying that "fated people are connected by a red string at their pinky fingers," which is very romantic, isn't it?＊

This red string can be easily DIY-ed, so let me introduce how to make it!♡

《Materials for the Red String》

There are three materials needed for the red string:

① Thick red string

② Wire (about 1mm)

③ Pliers

All of these can be purchased at a 100 yen shop!＊

《How to Make the Red String》

① Insert the wire into the red string.

② Shape it into the desired form (if you draw the shape you want on paper and bend the wire along it, you can make it nicely◎).

③ Round the ends of the handle and it's completed＊

A detailed video introduction is available here＊

Next, I will introduce the letters and shapes you can create with the red string!♡

The classic "LOVE" and "Kotobuki" are wonderful, but creating something original like your names, wedding date, or phrases that are important to both of you would be special too!＊
