Things You'll Need
- Ribbon or yarn
- Scissors
Instructions
Buy ribbon or yarn at your local arts and crafts store. Choose a width that's thick enough to hold your rock firmly without smothering it. Select a bright color or bold pattern to offset your rock's gray or brownish hue or choose a soft, muted tone for a more elegant look.
Wrap the ribbon or yarn securely around the widest part of your rock once and make a tight knot. If the knot starts to come loose, double-knot the ribbon or yarn to keep it in place. You should still be able to slip the leash off of the rock when not in use.
Extend the ribbon or yarn out to the length you want and cut it. A longer leash is more suitable for well-behaved rocks. Make the leash length shorter if your rock is prone to rolling or tumbling or if you have a hard time keeping it under control.
