How to Curl Rexlace, S'Ghetti, or Loopie Cord
The below tutorial is basically identical to our tutorial on how to curl dreads, but its for rexlace or any other sort of plastic lacing. Make note that this tutorial is for tubing made from plastic, so it won't work on rubber tubing like SoftGlass.
What You will Need
- Rexlace, S'Ghetti, or Loopie Cord - available here!
- Rubberbands - available here!
- A steamer or a kettle of boiling water
- A dowel, PVC pipe, foam curlers, broom handle, etc (anything to wrap the plastic around to get the curl shape)
Instructions
1. If you are using a wooden dowel, wrap it in tinfoil or plastic wrap to keep water from seeping into the wood. If you're using PVC pipe, a plastic broom handle, curlers, etc, you can omit this step.
2. Use a rubberband to fasten the end of a strand of rexlace to the dowel. Then wrap the rexlace around the dowel and fasten the other end with another rubberband. Repeat until you run out of room. For this tutorial, we're using a PVC pipe and a pencil to get two different sizes of curls.
3. Steam the rexlace pieces or pour boiling water over them to set the curls.
4. Allow your rexlace curls to cool off completely before removing them from the dowel. Once they are cool, you can take them off and do another batch.
