When the seventh prompt for Tie me up Tuesday — Tie Those Hands – went live, and I saw the back-arm harness, it reminded me of those play dates we had many years ago, where my hands were tied behind my back like that. Now I could never get my arms that far over each other behind my back, but far enough for a tie to be done and my arms to be immobilized.
Of course I knew, doing these rope challenges by myself, that there was no way in which I would be able to do that tie, But there was a challenge for those of us who are alone too — rope handcuffs.
I followed the tutorial by The Dutchy and have to say that I was surprised at how quickly I had it done. Full disclosure: when I got to step 3, I was totally confused. I was working from my phone, and had the loops in front of me, but the other side around from the images in the tutorial. I turned my phone upside down, and from there on it was easy!
So easy, that I decided to combine two colors of rope together and do the tie a second time!
Of course Master T had to help me with the photos!

I really like those ties! And omg, I had such a difficulty to get the behind my back arm harness done, because of my fat upper arms and my short arms. Not nice, lol.
I really wanted to do the back-arm harness (with the help of Master T of course) but from the past I remembered that I could never get my arms far enough back, so decided to just keep with the simple tie 😉
I loved your images!
Lol, I’m glad to read there was at least a moment of confusion for you tying these. It’s so funny to me how everyone finds these super easy (and they really are when you watch a tutorial on your screen) but how everyone I was in this beginner workshop with was so confused. Seems like in-person practical learning doesn’t always trump straight forward video tutorials! I like that you did it a second time with two colours. It inspired me to do mine with two colours too, though yours look much better ?
I really loved your images of the two ropes, and your hands behind that chair! And you are right, in person learning is not always the best way to do things 😉
This is really pretty Marie. I love the two colours of rope and your tying looks excellent ?
Thank you, Missy xox
This is so simple but so effective in the way you did it and in the final image too

Thank you, May. It’s really an easy tie and I might even be able to do it again without looking at the tutorial 😉 xox
Well you do use pretty colours of rope! lol. Nice to see you take part in this venture.
I’m actually enjoying it too! 🙂
Although I love “rope work” I’m never very good at doing it myself … so well done on your results.
And those pinks and blues do look pretty !!!

Thank you, K. This is a whole new adventure for me, tying myself. Master T helped me with the photos for this one, and who knows, he might even help me with future ties 😉 xox
