Instructions

    • 1

      Make two loops out of the center of the 2-foot piece of rope.

    • 2

      Pull one of the loops you made in the rope through the other loop. This will put a small not in the middle of the rope and will form the two cuff portions of the hand cuffs.

      Tell your friend or volunteer to slide their hands into the two loops. Once their hands are in the loops, pull the extra rope to tighten the cuffs around their hands.

    • 4

      Tie the left over rope in a tight knot until all of the rope is used. The volunteer will be handcuffed and unable to untie the knots or to remove his hands from the cuffs.
