Lashing Board
Round, Diagonal, Square, and Tripod Lashing

Materials Tools
1/4" thick 3"x3" craft foam
6' string
1/16"x 16" dowel rods
Printed names of lashings
PVC "D" ring
Scissors
Saw
Sandpaper
Hot Glue
White Glue

Use string of different colors if you want. Cut the dowel to the desired length (1 to 2 inches works well). Tie the lashing using the links listed below as resources. You may want to put a drop of white glue on the knots to keep them from getting loose over time. Make all the lashings then hot glue them to the foam background and hot glue a PVC ring to the back.

If you want to add labels, print the names of the knots on paper using a computer - 10 point font is about right. Cut them out and use a little white glue to attach them to the foam.
