In the interest of safety, always use softer materials like cloth or scarf for your rope handcuffs. You don’t want your partner to accidentally get hurt.
In this tutorial, we will be showing you how to tie rope handcuffs. This bondage knot is simple but makes a sturdy restraint that is difficult to escape from. It is perfect for beginner pranksters who want to experiment with bondage play. So, without further ado, let’s get started!
10 Steps on How to Tie Rope Handcuffs
1. Cut the Rope
Cut a length of rope that is long enough to wrap. Make sure to cut the rope to twice the length of your desired handcuffs. You’ll want to have some extra rope to work with, so err on the side of too much rather than too little.
2. Fold the Rope in Half
Take the cut length of the rope and fold it in half to have two equal lengths. To take the step further, you can tie a knot in the center of the rope to keep the two halves together. This will make it easier to work with when tying the handcuffs.
3. Make a Slipknot
Tie a slipknot about 10 inches from the end of the rope. This will be used to tighten the handcuffs once they are tied.
4. Tie a Slipknot
Take the end of the rope and make a slipknot around the other half of the rope. This will create a loop that can be tightened or loosened as needed. Be careful when tying the knot, as you don’t want it too tight or loose.
5. Pull the Knot Tight
Pull the knot tight, ensuring the loop is small enough that it can’t be slipped off easily. If the loop is too large, the handcuffs will be too loose and won’t provide much restraint.
6. Wrap the Rope Around the Hand
Take the other end of the rope and wrap it around the person’s hand, crossing over the top of their wrist. You need to keep in mind that the handcuffs should be tight but not too tight. You don’t want to cut off circulation to the person’s hands.
7. Tie a Second Slipknot
Tie a second slipknot around the first piece of rope, making sure to pull it tight. Lose pull the rope and make sure the second slipknot is pulled close to the first one. You don’t want there to be a lot of space between the two knots, as this will make the handcuffs too loose.
8. Repeat on the Other Hand
Repeat the same steps on the other hand. Once both hands are tied, you can adjust the slack in the rope to make the handcuffs tighter or looser as needed. Just be careful not to make them too tight, as you don’t want to cut off circulation to the person’s hands.
9. Tie the Two Loose Ends Together
Take the two loose ends of the rope and tie them together, making sure to pull the knot tight. This step is important as it will prevent the person from being able to slip their hands out of the handcuffs.
10. Test the Knots
Give the knots a good tug to ensure they are secure before proceeding with any bondage play. You can always tighten them up if they are too loose.
There you have it! Now you can tie rope handcuffs. This simple but effective knot is perfect for beginner bondage play.
