I have received many requests for instructions about how to do the Rope Knot Plait I showed on the Back to School: Organising hair ties post. It’s a simple plait that is just a little different to the typical variety.
So, I have created my first ever video tutorial. I’m so nervous to publish it, I was mighty shy so please excuse my lack of not properly introducing myself. Give me time, I’ll get there 🙂 I hope you enjoy this video, which you will find at the end of this post.
Let me know if your interested in seeing more step by step hairstyles.
I hope you enjoyed the video!

I love the tutorial I am going to try it on my daughter's hair if she lets me. She is 12 so we will see. I have tried this before but really had no idea what I was doing. You make it look easy thanks for sharing.!!!!!!!!!!!
Great tutorial! My daughter is starting preschool this year and I have been looking for ideas on what to do with her hair. I cant wait to try this one on her! 🙂
How lovely is that hairstyle?! Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I am a bit hair-style challenged. I've almost always had long hair but wasn't a 'girly' girl, so it was usually just a ponytail. I've been wondering how I will learn to do my two daughters' hair. (I shudder at the word 'braid'!!!). Looking forward to any future videos you might make 🙂
So easy! You did a great job!
I really love the 'two tails down' bow like in your first photo, it is very pretty, I'll definitely be placing an order with Pretty Things Distract Me!
Thanks! something new to try tomorrow! – that looks relatively easy!! I have watched a tutorial on braiding, it LOOKED easy enough, but it's obviously only easy if you know what you are doing! (or after a LOT of practice which is a bit hard to do with a squirming 5 year old, whose constantly saying "mum, you are hurting me!" – hair time in our household is never a pleasure for any of us – lol) p.s keep those tutorial's coming!
I love the beaded snowflake design, never seen anything like it before!
I think the streamer hair tie is just lovely for school, but everything is gorgeous! (been a PTDM fan for ages)
Thanks for the tutorial, looking forward to when my little girl has hair to try some stylin' 🙂
Katrina…this tutorial was perfect! It was so easy to follow, i'm lucky to have a patient 5 year old that let me do it whilst the video was on and it rope knot plait was easy. Thank you for teaching me something new!!!!
Thanks so much! Please keep your video tutorials coming! Very helpful!
My favourite from PTDM is the Polymer butterfly with pinks and glitter ribbon. We absolutely love butterflies!
Thanks for that great tutorial – looks easy enough to do with a cooperative child!
I'm already a PTDM fan on FB – and as a previous customer, can highly recommend them!
Loving the Hawaii Poly clay bow on her FB page – so cute!
ps – love the fact I'm not the only one with a noisy washing machine as well haha
Thank you! Please do more tutorials, that was extremely enjoyable. The Shades of Pink custom bow on Pretty Things Distract Me is just beautiful. I love it. I have two blonde haired, blue eyed girls who are 8 and 6 and that would look just gorgeous on both of them. I have become a fan and thank you Kat for showing me this company. They are just awesome.
Well done on the upload of the video Katrina. I admire and appreciate your efforts and time you take to keep this blog!
My fave would have to be the Citrus Cooler Bow. SO gorgeous! But sooo many other nice clips and hair accessories!
Latrina What a fantastic korker, I watced you rtutorial this morning than again now, and had to laugh at you r washing machine it sounded exactlylike mine. My mum is alwasy telling me mine is so loud.
the hair bows are just gorgeous, I love all the korkers and school bows.
thanks for the tutorial, i have a rare 2 days ahead with just my princess and 7 month old son (the 10 and 2 year old are off camping with the boys and daddy of course) I can see miss and i watching the tutorial together and me having a go at doing it in her hair.
So many lovely bows but i just love the streamer hair ties and the Christmas Sparkle Korker which i would put in my princess' hair anytime of year 🙂
THanks for the tut, my daughter is 2 1/2 and has JUST enough hair to put in a tiny pony tail!!! So the clips are definitely the way to go for her!!!
Loved wathching the tutorial – now, to find a girl to practise on – Haha!!
I love them all but I really like the Gymboree Made to Match Tres Fabulous Korker.
wow! so many designs to select from! my fave is Double Tails Down bow 🙂
So many gorgeous ribbons and bows! Love the korkers! Liked on FB.
I LOVE the corker streamers! so Cheery! love the perfection of all the bows and the clip slides with bows are a fav because we love our hair out and i get to sweep it to the side with a cute clip.
cheers
Tracy
Just wondering if you are Tracy former lead singer for The Strange of Milwaukee, WI?
Hi Katrina, I found this while looking for 'heart hair' and thought you might love it for new inspiration!

I simply adore the Rainbow Brite bottlecap bow and the strawberry shortcake one just gorgeous.
What an intricate design the Gymboree Made 2 Match Tres Fabulous Korker is – a stand-out from the crowd favourite!
My girls watched the clip with me and are keen for me to try it on their hair
they like the corkers they are so pretty
Oh, I love your tutorial, it was fantastic, I have been doing them in my girls hair since I watched it, I have a few so I get lots of practice. I absolutely adore the OOAK Butterfly Button Boutique Bow, its gorgeous and any age group could wear it, even me.. 🙂
I love the yo gabba gabba plex bottlecap bow – we are mad on gabba gabba at our house
A friend has had an adorable new bub
The black headband with polkadots would not rub
It would look stylish with a pettiskirt on this adorable bub
xx
Thanks for the competition
Hi all, thankyou for entering the Pretty Things Distract me giveaway, they have the most adorable hair bows. I hope to do some more video's soon. My video camera is current getting fixed, then I'll do some braid tutorials 🙂
thanks for this, my 5yo is starting school this year and i’m a bit sick of the pigtails and plaits i did for kinder! btw love how you can hear your washing machine running in the backround! LOL
WOW! I do so much LOVE LOVE LOVE that bow.
I wish I was better at doing hair. I’m just not that good at it really & anything I do always falls out by recess time.
I am always watching you tube videos about how to tie hair & I can never get the tutorials to work properly 🙁
I love your video, I can do regular plaits but am looking for new ideas for my daughters hair. Thank you. Ps. LOVE your site too 🙂
Love it and I love that we get to see who you are, or meet you so to speak:) the wirrr of the washing machine in the background is fantastic – perfect organised housewife:)
LOL, sometimes I forget about these hidden videos. I would like to do more in the future, just pluck up the courage 🙂
hi – have you put up the more complicated 2 sided braid one. I just can’t work out the braid thing!
