How to Make a Climbing Net for a Bird
- 1). Use the scissors to cut an 8-foot section from the rope. Tie the ends together to make a loop.
- 2). Measure 2 feet up from the knot in the loop of rope and tie an overhand knot. This will be the second corner in the bird net.
- 3). Measure 2 feet from the overhand knot and tie another overhand knot; this will be the third corner in the bird net.
- 4). Finally, measure 2 feet from the third corner of the bird net and tie another overhand knot. The rope should now form a square, with a knot at each corner.
- 5). Use the scissors to cut the remaining length of rope into 2-foot sections.
- 6). Measure 2.4 inches in from the second corner of the bird net and tie one of the 2-foot sections of rope, allowing the length of the section to hang down.
- 7). Measure 2.4 inches in from the opposite side of the second corner of the bird net and tie a 2-foot section of rope to this point in the same fashion as the first. The two sections of rope should now cross each other when pulled straight from where they were knotted to the exterior rope of the bird net.
- 8). Lay the two pieces of rope across each other; they should create a small square. Using the hot glue gun, fasten the ropes together at this point.
- 9). Measure 2.4 inches inwards from the first 2 foot section of rope which was tied and tie another 2-foot section of rope in an identical fashion.

Repeat the process on the opposite side, measuring 2.4 inches inwards from the second 2-foot section of rope which was tied and fastening another piece of rope the same way. - 11
As before, lay the lengths of rope flat within the net. They should create three squares when crossing the existing rope as well as each other. Use the hot glue gun to fasten the ropes at each point in which they cross each other. You should now be left with a four small squares within the bird net. - 12
Continue to repeat the process of tying a length of rope 2.4 inches inwards at each side and then gluing the points where the ropes meet, creating squares until you've used 20 2-foot pieces of rope. You should now be left with a net of 100 small squares. - 13
The ends of the 2-foot sections of rope should reach the opposite side of the net from the point where they were initially tied. Tie each section 2.4 inches apart to the loose side of the net, finalizing the design. - 14
The net can now be hung in a bird cage from the loops in the overhand knots at each corner.
