LEG DAY To embellish the chair legs, this photo and opposite, bottom right, place a piece
of masking tape vertically on the outside of each leg. On the first leg, mark for holes 1 inch
apart starting 2 inches from the floor. Repeat on the diagonally opposite leg so the holes
match. Do the same on the remaining legs but starting your marks 21/2 inches from the
floor so the cords can cross freely in the middle. Using a bit slightly larger than your
cord, drill holes, making them parallel to the floor and in the direction of the opposite
diagonal leg. Trim the end of a piece of 550 white paracord at an angle and heat-seal,
then string through a pair of corresponding holes. Cut and tie the cord, pulling it taut.
Repeat. Trim excess cord close to the knot then heat-seal, taking care not to get the
flame too close or it will scorch the cord.USE A TINY
