If you want to know what you can do with string, you need look no further. This book gives more than 150 delightful and practical uses carefully selected from magicians' and seaman's manuals, craft books, accounts of native games, and other widely scattered sources. Ranging from tricks and games to serious knotwork and netting, they will keep you entertained while opening up a host of new crafts and recreational areas.For those interested in magic and party games, 32 tricks, including escapes, dissolving loops and the cut and restored string, are described. A section on some 70 knots, with all the standard knots and many special ones, will be especially helpful when decorative or ornamental effects, extra strength, speed or other special requirements are called for. For craftspeople, a special section on squareknot work, one of the traditional sailors' crafts, tells how to get started and how to make such projects as belts, ties, hammocks, a tennis net, and a fish net. Other craft sections tell how to make rugs, chains, a rope tree climber, small weaving articles and other useful items, and how to do braiding — three and four strand, round, square, spiral, and flat — for a number of other projects. A final section introduces some of the finest examples of string figures from native cultures all around the world.Anyone who works with yarn, thread, rope or other forms of string will want this book for the handicraft areas it introduces and for the many tricks and games it provides with which to entertain one's friends. The recreations and serious uses will provide readers, both young and old, with many hours of interest and entertainment.

I first saw this book in the public library. The book was so old and well used I was afraid it was out of print. I'm so glad to have found it here. It is such a great book, it's the kind you want to keep on hand. I didn't want to have to run to the library, and hope it was there, every time I wanted to use it. It's not just for kids, it's just kid sized. This book shares the history of and useful information of some of the knots. It's well illustrated and has clearly written instructions so I can learn to make the knots. My 10 yr. old son loves this book too. This book has a wide variety to choose from: -Magic with String and Rope, -Knots, Splices, Fancy Knot Work, -Useful Things Made From Rope and String, -Braiding, -String Games and Figures.My son & I ARE having lots of fun with Fun With String.
This small-format book is loaded with information & project ideas: belts, lanyards, mats, plus games & tricks. It also includes fingerweaving, spool knitting, lanyard, flat & round braiding-- string figures, too. Plenty of illustrations. First saw it at the public library but want my own copy!
I have just started getting involved with braiding and knots, and this book was wonderful, so many and idea's. Easy to follow instruction. Even magic tricks. I have even entertained some young children with some of the magic tricks.
Je l'ai acheté pour les jeux de ficelle. Il consacre deux chapitres aux jeux de ficelle Pas si intéressant, il a un air de déja vu.
