    Hi Hive-rs,

    We are doing a handfasting ceremony and I am having an impossible time finding an appropriate handfasting cord.  My go to (Etsy) came up with nothing and I'm not even really sure what one should look like and therefore don't know if I should make one... any advice?  Suggestions?  Pictures of yours?  

    Anything would be much appreciated!!!

    Hopes this helps:

    They look like curtain pull backs so you might be able to find curtain holds in a retail store to use or put together ribbons like the first

    Try JoAnn Fabrics. They have lots of different cords in many colors. Good luck!

    We are using my family tartan instead of cords.

    We went to JoAnn fabrics and bought three different colored pieces of cord and braided them together. I think it turned out really well!

    I would love to know if you found something eventually. I've seen a few on Etsy, just none I really like and the the curtain pull backs are just a little plain to me.

    I'd also love to know if you did the full ceremonies that handfastings are as a pagan tradtion or if you combined faiths such as christianity and such.
