How to Make a Monkey Fist with a Golf Ball

Making a monkey fist with a golf ball is a fun and easy DIY project that can be used as a keychain or a decorative item. Here are the steps to make a monkey fist with a golf ball:

1) Cut a long piece of rope or paracord, approximately 10-12 feet in length.
2) Take one end of the rope and wrap it around the golf ball, leaving a long tail hanging down.
3) Hold the golf ball and wrap the rope around it again, crossing over the original wrap.
4) Continue wrapping the rope around the golf ball, making sure the wraps are tight and close together.
5) Once you have made about 10-12 wraps, begin threading the rope through the center of the wraps, using a fid or a small pointed tool to help guide the rope through.
6) Continue threading the rope through the center of the wraps until you have gone through all the wraps and come out the other end.
7) Pull the ends of the rope tightly to tighten the knot and create the monkey fist shape.
8) Trim the ends of the rope and melt them with a lighter to prevent fraying.
9) Attach a keychain or other decorative item to the tail of the rope, if desired.
10) With these simple steps, you can easily create a monkey fist with a golf ball and enjoy a fun and unique DIY project.

1) Cut a piece of rope or paracord, approximately 18-24 inches in length.
2) Fold the rope in half and make a loop at the end, leaving a long tail.
3) Hold the loop in your hand and place the golf ball in the center.
4) Wrap one end of the rope around the golf ball and bring it up through the loop.
5) Wrap the other end of the rope around the golf ball in the opposite direction and bring it up through the loop on the other side.
6) Continue wrapping the rope around the golf ball and bringing it up through the loop, alternating sides each time.
7) Make sure the wraps are tight and close together, and continue until you have made about 10-12 wraps.
8) Once you have made enough wraps, begin threading the rope through the center of the wraps, using a fid or a small pointed tool to help guide the rope through.
9) Continue threading the rope through the center of the wraps until you have gone through all the wraps and come out the other end.
10) Pull the ends of the rope tightly to tighten the knot and create the monkey fist shape.
11) Trim the ends of the rope and melt them with a lighter to prevent fraying.
12) By following these steps, you can make a monkey fist with a golf ball using a slightly different technique that also produces a great-looking result.

1) Take a golf ball and drill a small hole through the center of it using a power drill and a drill bit that is slightly larger than the diameter of the rope you will be using.
2) Cut a length of rope or paracord, about 8-10 feet in length.
3) Fold the rope in half and pass the midpoint through the hole in the golf ball.
4) Tie a knot in the rope right above the golf ball to secure it in place.
5) Separate the two strands of the rope and begin wrapping one strand tightly around the golf ball and the other strand in the opposite direction.
6) Continue wrapping each strand tightly around the golf ball until you have made about 20-25 wraps.
7) Once you have made enough wraps, begin weaving the rope back and forth around the wraps, using a needle or fid to help guide the rope through.
8) Weave the rope back and forth until you have gone through all the wraps and come out the other end.
9) Pull the ends of the rope tightly to tighten the knot and create the monkey fist shape.
10) Trim the ends of the rope and melt them with a lighter to prevent fraying.
11) This method involves drilling a hole in the golf ball before starting the wrapping process, which creates a unique look and texture that sets it apart from other monkey fists.

Here is another method for making a monkey fist with a golf ball:

1) Cut a length of rope or paracord, about 8-10 feet in length.
2) Take a golf ball and wrap the rope around it twice, leaving a tail of about 8 inches.
3) Make a loop with the longer section of rope, and hold it against the golf ball so that the tail is at the top.
4) Wrap the longer section of rope around the golf ball, passing the rope through the loop each time.
5) Keep wrapping the rope around the ball until the monkey fist is the desired size. The more wraps you make, the tighter and denser the monkey fist will be.
6) When you are finished wrapping, pass the end of the rope through the loop that you made earlier.
7) Pull the tail of the rope to tighten the knot and create the monkey fist shape.
8) Cut off the excess rope and melt the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying.
9) This method involves creating a loop at the beginning of the process, which helps to keep the wraps tight and secure as you work. It also allows you to adjust the size of the monkey fist more easily.
