Thank you for your question. The answer really depends on where you are at with making your string. Typically after you make your loops you do the twist, and that keeps the string together. It's important that you keep your twists going in the same direction. The process is difficult to explain in a single post. If you need further information, feel free to call our tech line at 866-587-9501.

The problem with craft string is strength. Bowstring material is very strong. We can only syggest using bowstring material for making bowstrings. Still, you can learn HOW to make a string by practising with craft string. Keep trying, once you understand it, it's really cool to be able to make your own bowstrings! todd smith

I love archery. When I get my camp better established, I'm making all my own gear right down to the string.
