That's what you need up there
Get your peice of card first. It literally doesn't matter how big the card is, it's just to wrap the cotton around to stop the sharpie going everywhere. Cut your cotton to a pretty good length. I chose to do mine at about 5m just for shits and giggles. Once you've done that, crap it continuously around the peice of card. Don't do what i did and mondlessley cut the cotton at one end. I didn't realize what i was doing until it was done and had to start over. D'oh.
Get your sharpie and colour in little rectangles every so often on the twine. Then flip over and do the other side. Do the rectangles as thick as you want them, it just makes it more visible if they're really thick. I liked them thinner so stuck like this.
Unravel the twine from the peice of card and wrap it around your makeshift bobbin, if you made one or store it however you like for later just so it stays tidy.
DONE! Didn't I tell you it was easy?! Now go and make your presents all pretty.
Ciao for now!
