As part of my Halloween decor, I'm making a swing out of 2x4 and some rope. I bought a ghostly skeleton girl, and was going to put her sitting on the swing. This whole set up is not big. Doll is maybe 1-1 1/2 ft tall, the wood for the swing is about 12-13 in. in length. Plan on hanging it in a window type space that seperates between my living room and kitchen.
I have already done the drilling of holes into the wood, looping rope through and under swing. Then at the top of the rope, where it will hang from a hook, I tried to loop and then wrap it around the rope going down. I tried a hot glue gun to glue the rope together where I thought needed, to keep it in place, but it's just not working. It falls apart, not sticking what so-ever. Its not a heavy or large rope, maybe 1/4 inch wide at tops.
Does anyone know of a better way to keep my rope intact? Anyone kow of sites that gives detailed instructions on rope tieing?
Thanks =)
