Drawstrings are a great addition to shorts, skirts, bags or hoodies, but they tend to slip very easily. Instead of throwing it away, you can easily re-thread the drawstring in place with a pin. If you don’t have a pin, you can use a straw, a clothes hanger, or a pen cap.
Steps
Thread the drawstring with a pin

Pull out the drawstring completely if it’s already half loose. If the drawstring starts to come off but is still stuck in some part of the garment, pull it out completely. It’s easier to go back to the beginning than to try to push it back without tools. [1] X Research Source

Insert the pin into one end of the drawstring. You should use a large metal tape to make it easier to hold and easier to thread. However, make sure the tape needle fits into the drawstring hole and firmly pin it in place about 1.5cm from the end of the cord. [2] X Research Source
- If buying pins, you should choose skirt pins, they are larger and sturdier than regular pins.
Alternatively: If you don’t have a flat needle, you can use a paper clip! Thread the end of the drawstring into the paper clip so it stays there.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ca/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Insert-a-Drawstring- Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ca/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Thread the tape needle into the drawstring eyelet. You need to locate the two drawstring eyelets, which are the small circular holes through which the drawstring ends. Next, insert a pin into one of those holes and thread it through the garment until it comes out the other. [3] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4e/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Insert-a-Drawstring- Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4e/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Draw the lanyard towards the pin to allow the drawstring to move through the garment. You will hold the pin firmly in one hand and use the other hand to pull the fabric in the direction of the needle so that they stick together. Then, hold the needle firmly with your other hand and flatten the folds of fabric. [4] X Research Sources
- You need to hold the tape firmly so that it does not slip in the drawstring conduit.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4e/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Insert-a-Drawstring- Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4e/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Continue pressing and pulling the fabric until a pin appears in the other eyelet. You will continue to do the same to let the needle move in the drawstring conduit, perform the operation until the needle comes out the other end. [5] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0e/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Insert-a-Drawstring- Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0e/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove the tape and tie the two ends of the drawstring. You will pull the drawstring until the two ends of the cord sticking out are the same length. Then remove the tape. To prevent the drawstring from slipping inward, you should tie a large knot at each end of the rope. [6] X Research Source
- Tie the knot so that the knot is bigger than the eyelet so the drawstring doesn’t slip in.
Thread the drawstring with other tools
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/76/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Insert-a-Drawstring- Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/76/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy an elastic band tool to save time and effort. This tool looks like a sewing needle with a large hole in the end. You will thread the drawstring through the threader about 10cm and then thread the drawstring through the eyelet on the garment. If your threader has a clip on the end instead of a large hole, open the clip, put the drawstring in, and clip it back. [7] X Research Sources
- You can buy threading tools at clippers or craft stores.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/51/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Insert-a-Drawstring- Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/51/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a straw if you find it difficult to get the needle through the threader. If you want to thread the drawstring into a large tube or thick fabric, such as on a hoodie, it can be difficult to use a tape pin. To make it easier to thread, thread at least 2.5cm of drawstring into a straw, staple it with paper clips. Then, thread the empty straw end through the drawstring hole. Continue threading until the drawstring goes through the other hole. [8] X Research Sources
- Since the straws are larger than a pin, it will be easier to thread through thick fabric and won’t get caught on the edge of the fabric.
- To unspin the paper, you can use a staple remover. Note that paper staples can damage delicate fabrics, but with strong drawstrings that’s fine.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b7/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Insert-a-Drawstring- Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b7/Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Insert-a-Drawstring-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Bend the clothes hanger into a hook to thread the drawstring. If you want to make a sturdy tool that can be reused many times, you can use a coat hanger. You will untwist the hook and bend it into a straight bar. Then, bend one end of this rod into a small hook and thread the drawstring into it. Push the hook end through the drawstring eyelet and continue until the drawstring comes out the other side. [9] X Research Source
- If the drawstring comes loose from the hook, bend the hook rod around the drawstring to secure it.
- You can bend the hook rod while pushing it through the conduit, especially when threading through the round neck of the hoodie.
Tips: Be careful when pushing the hook rod through the conduit so as not to accidentally tear the garment.

Wrap a drawstring around a round pen cap if no other tools are available. If you don’t have a pin, a straw, or a clothes hanger, you can find a pen cap with a bracket and attach a drawstring to it. Then, thread the other end of the pen through the conduit. You will thread until you see the drawstring come out of the hole on the other end. [10] X Research Source
- Remember to use a pen with a cap, to avoid accidentally inserting a smooth cap into your clothes.
Advice
- If you don’t want the drawstring to come off, find the middle of the drawstring when it’s in place in the garment and sew it in place.
