How to Put in a Hoodie String in 38 SECONDS!

[@kyttenn]

queen. i just got a band hoodie off the boy i’m seeing and the string came out first wash. this was so helpful!!

[@MomCanFixIt]

So glad I could help! 👑

[@catpillowhaver]

literally my exact issue rn im wearing my boyfriends band hoodie and the string came out first wash too

[@TropicsTayxo]

Mine also came out first wash 😭

[@anjabrasler4321]

If you want to use the chopstick method but the hole is too small to fit both the string and chopstick through at the same time, just tape the very end of the string and chopstick together, not overlapping. I did that with an old paintbrush and it worked perfectly!

[@colleenwnek3404]

The straw technique just saved me an hour of struggling. Thank you!

[@6461791]

The "straw technique" FANTASTIC!!!! Matter of seconds...DONE! Thanks...

[@samatharobles4330]

Thank you for posting your trial and error !!! I used the straw method, threaded my hoodie in less than a minute!! This video is very helpful and appreciated ❣️👍

[@MomCanFixIt]

So glad it helped!

[@matthiafox]

Best video on the subject, hands down. Comprehensive info, quick, no BS, no horrible music. Thank you!!

[@joemjencombs8202]

i used a pen, got all the stuff out of the pen and turned it into a straw. it was really helpful!

[@MomCanFixIt]

Great solution!

[@4iivox264]

Thank you so much!!! Just washed my favorite hoodie 5 minutes ago, immediately saw the string was out, this is so helpful! Love videos like this.

[@MomCanFixIt]

Glad I could help!

[@northside.shawty]

Dear mom, you can prevent this problem by tying the strings together before washing the hoodies, love the video nonetheless because I often forget to use my own tip lol!

[@ladybritishcolumbia678]

That trick with the straw saved the day for me. Thank you!

[@MomCanFixIt]

Awesome! You're welcome.

[@robertarubin3219]

The string taped to a straw was PERFECT!! Thank you so much. 🎉

[@MomCanFixIt]

Glad it helped!

[@MikeandKris09]

Cindy you saved my Saturday and my wife’s brand new DCFC hoodie. Thank you!

[@UnderConstructionejab]

Thank you so much for your wonderful post. I was able to restore my brand new hoodie My hoodies have the metal hoops, the zip ties worked best. I used the smallest one I had in my elec kit. * Just a note to anybody using this method, *** be sure to wrap the end of your string around the zip tie and tape it with the very small amount of tape *** it works the best. 🤠

[@corychurch3057]

Agreed! Straw method for the win! Pushed string all the way through 1/2 of a straw, tied small knot at end of string and caterpillar-ed straw through til end. 20 seconds. Done.

[@MomCanFixIt]

Nice!

[@GregTurismo]

Just used your straw method to help out my coworker. Took me lass than a minute! Thank you!

[@randyblackwell9835]

Oh my gosh, thank you! With a zip tie, I got it through. Thank you for being sooooo helpful!

[@MomCanFixIt]

So glad it worked!!!

[@KingdomOutfittersTV]

How long of a string do you use? I read I need 53” for an xxl but I’m only finding sets with 45”.

[@AtticusKillough]

I love this so much. I had some gym shorts and this is pure genius. I love the fact that there's a mom channel like this. Gotta love the cottage industry.

[@MomCanFixIt]

Glad I could help 😄

[@chuu_r_ugly8957]

Dude my string fell off as soon as I washed it and this helped so much. 👍

[@MomCanFixIt]

Great to hear!

[@mercedesgourdine7710]

This helped me out a lot. I had just bought a hoodie and the first wash the string came out. The straw method worked best for me. Thanks

[@MomCanFixIt]

Awesome! Glad it helped!

[@matthewcullen8925]

If you have a plastic straw like the ones you get from fountain sodas you can put a single cut from the top to the bottom of the straw and place the hoodie string inside of it and the straw will naturally close over the hoodie string so you can pull the string through the hoodie with out needing to use a stapler or tape

[@rosatse2373]

This is really helpful!❤

[@colips7572]

Thanks for this. Especially the bit where you talked about the hoodies with the metal rings. Very helpful!

[@MomCanFixIt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@catlady4799]

Just did it, the straw worked great. thank you so much for showing this.

[@MaryannVannoy]

My granddaughter and I were thinking it would take forever, but yet it only took less than a minute with that chopstick hack. Thank you so much! ❤

[@MomCanFixIt]

Nice! I'm so glad it worked for you!

[@tamarathomas1156]

Purchased a hoodie for my Grandson..1st wash string came out..Low and behold I goggled, and sure enough, there u were.The straw method worked less then a minute..Thank u

[@MomCanFixIt]

Love it!! Glad I could help!

[@kandibaisley]

Thank you for the video… I had a hard time getting the string in, so I try the straw method and it exactly worked 😅! I appreciate it.

[@MomCanFixIt]

Awesome! You're welcome!

[@kandibaisley]

@@MomCanFixIt 👍

[@phantasieandmirare]

Thanks for your help, my sister’s hoodie uses a chain as the drawstring but I taped it to the end of a chopstick (didn’t have any straws around) to shove it through and it worked like a charm!

[@tyoske13]

This strangely gave me more confidence with this everyday fear.

[@Rufusem]

Excellent! The bobby pin worked well for my small camera lens pouch. I'm sure the zip tie or straw will work on my hoodies. Thank you, Mom!

[@MomCanFixIt]

Glad it worked!

[@naomibmusic]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I used a metal straw to push the string through my son’s sweat shorts. The first time was a fail - the tape and string detached half way through. Once I applied more tape, it was a go! Thanks again.😄

[@MomCanFixIt]

Nice! I'm glad it worked!!

[@redy189]

I got a hoodie for Christmas and accidentally pulled the strings out, thank you for your help! I really appreciate it!

[@moniquemilne4956]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! ❤❤❤ I had 2 strings to do in hoodies and used the straw method with tape, it worked sooooo much better than a silly safety pin! 2 hoodies in a minute and a half thanks to you!

[@MomCanFixIt]

Great job!

[@wymii]

if you don't have tape, you can use a paperclip and ziptie by stabbing one end of the paperclip into the string and the other through the hole in the ziptie, then pushing the ziptie through. this is what I did since I didn't have any tape thank you for the video!!! it was extremely helpful ❤

[@larrymartin7479]

Used the chopstick method and, believe it or not, it worked!! Thanks so much!!

[@MomCanFixIt]

Glad it helped!

[@DnDJordanL]

A straw…AMAZING! Thank you! Moving forward I double knotted my strings

[@N8TRU]

Thank you so much! The chopstick method was super easy and took me less than 2 minutes!

[@TuffEsox]

Tried the zip-tie method on a pair of sweatpants & it worked great! Thank you!

[@dunkinqueen]

You rock! I just got the string on my favorite hoodie!!! Thank you so much! (used a mechanical pencil)

[@20Hazell12]

Chop stick method worked thanks. We taped hoodie string at top of chop stick instead of end

[@dr.kimberlymorton2115]

Thank you for this, I used a straw and a safety pin and it took 20 seconds!!!! ❤I looked at your video after I almost had it halfway through just working with it with my fingers… lol 😂 then I was like it has to be an easier way! I only had a safety pin and a straw… I put the safety pin through the straw… 😊 thank you 🙏🏾

[@Aviator928]

Thank you so much, my mom got me a hoodie and the aeglets came off immediately, I look forward to now knowing this trick.

[@Abby-hs2ub]

The only thing that works and every other vid told me to use a marker which stained my strings but this was a savior of a $75 hoodie 😅 thank you 🙏

[@MomCanFixIt]

Oh awesome! Glad it worked!

[@sian2439]

IVE NEVERRR HEARD OF THE BOBBY PIN ONE AND THANK YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE IVE HAD A HOODIE WITH NO STRING FOR MONTHS AND I GAVE UP AFTER HEARING THE STRAW METHOD BECAUSE IT WAS TOO BIG TO FIT BUT THE BOBBY PIN WORKED THANK YOUU😂❤❤❤

You have solved what I had once believed impossible, tysm

[@MomCanFixIt]

[@johnfachy393]

Thanks so much! Just used the zip tie method to fix my Champion gym shorts!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@MomCanFixIt]

Fantastic!

[@long-ps6cx]

For the safety pin, if the hoodie holes are too small. Attach to the string first, then grab pliers and make the pins end smaller.

[@MomCanFixIt]

Good tip!

[@mvega-perez8387]

That was amazing! Straw worked like a charm... 30 seconds tops. Thanks!

[@joycecarney3095]

I We always used coat hanger & straightened it out-use cheap hangar that's easy 2 straighten. Weave string around hangar & keep pushing hangar all the way through. Unweave string @ end & hold both ends of string & pull hangar out. Done in 2 minutes.

[@MomCanFixIt]

That's a good way to do it but I feel like metal hangers are hard to find these days - they're mostly plastic.

[@ryanfey4065]

Really liked the video!! Chopstick worked great! Thank u for sharing!!

[@Kawaii.Savage]

Thank you so much!! I just bought matching hoodies for me and my pup (don’t judge 😂) from SparkPaws. I threw it in the was post making sure they fit, and the strings came out on both hoodies. 😫 I will try the zip tie method.

[@ernieschierbeek2160]

This was the problem with my winter coat that had a hood string. The material was to heavy for the hair pin or paper clip method. I tried the 'straw method" That did not work because the straw fit to tight in the gourmet. Then I tried to push the string through with a small metal rod that I cut from an old wire close hanger. That almost worked. I got an inch away from the other side and gave up. Then! Then I pulled the whole string out, taped the end of the string to the end of the wire ( I used scotch tape) and pushed it through in about 10 seconds. So there you have it. easy peasy.

[@MomCanFixIt]

That sounds like a tricky one! Glad you found a solution!

[@amandavary8473]

Straw staple method worked wonders!! So easy and fast. Thank you so much for this video 😁

[@venicechris]

Thank you! Zip tie method worked great!

[@channeljohnnyYT]

if you have any metal hangers you can straighten one out, tie one end of the string to the hanger and then feed it through

[@Silvergurl80]

[@JC-xf5xb]

I use a straightened clothes hanger. Cut and straighten the clothes hanger with pliers, tape the drawstring to one end, then fish it through the hood. You can bend a loop in the clothes hanger so it doesn't snag the hood. Very fast. Then tie knots in the drawstring ends so it doesn't come out again. I also cut them short. They'll be plenty long enough to tie when you draw the hood tight.

[@MomCanFixIt]

Good method! Thanks for sharing!

Use the zip tie and cut the "socket" end off I found was the most effective.

Oh yeah, cutting the end part off would really help! Good tip!
