Make Your Own - Braided Scarf Slide This is actually a fancy sailor knot that looks like a braid. The kit has everything you need to make a leather slide including detailed printed directions AND access to an online video tutorial. After making your first slide, you can continue to use the tools included in the kit to make more slides. (I’ve made napkin rings with the same technique.) It is honestly a little addicting. I encourage you to explore different materials like para-cord or other ropes.
