Natural Fiber Sisal Rope

So, I weaved this from a palm frond.
It's about 18 inches long and I will loop over my driftwood catwalk, as a kind of ladder. It's stronger than it looks.

What do you think?

Nice! If you scrape off the pulp of the frond (you can use a clam shell) until the only the long fibrous strands are left you can turn it into rope, i forgot about palms because there aren't many in Utah lol

Very cool! What are you using the "rope' for? We have lots of those here in Florida!

Very interesting @LadyJinglyJones! I have had the wasps occur and emerge from a caterpillar. It was disgusting.

I used this rope so the hermies can climb up to a high piece of driftwood. I really was just curious how to make a natural rope, so this was my Guinea pig...
