TUTORIAL: Re-thread Drawstring on Shorts / Pants / Hoodie

[@mariofajardo2142]

Thank mam. You saved my day. I sincerely appreciate people that take the time to make these videos to help the rest of human mankind.

[@CraigAhrens]

This was a life saver. I didn't have a safety pen so I used a paper clip and tied a small knot and it worked like a champ!!

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

I’m so glad some of you are finding success with paper clips! Good work!

[@ZorceusSama]

all heroes don't wear capes

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Ha! This is the best!!

[@RajbirSinghx]

You mean not all heroes wear capes

[@andrehenderson3364]

No he was right the first time lmao, remember The Incredibles?

[@prod.hxrford3896]

@@andrehenderson3364 hahha good point

[@smilez4milez510]

💯💰

[@billygilliam1496]

I struggled for two days even thought about using a wire coat hanger. You, my dear, saved the day.

[@itskristieali]

6 years ago but still so helpful. Thank you!!! ❤

[@sissyqsarah3452]

Thank you this worked for me. I’ve been struggling for two days to fix my shorts.

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

You're welcome! Glad it helped you. :)

[@SuperEazzyrecipes]

Thanks a bunch it worked...I didn’t have a safety pin but a paper clip did the trick ....I was seating in my underwear searching up “how to put rope back in pants” lol and ur video popped up ...a real life saver 😅

[@mizcupcake09]

I didn’t have a safety pin so I improvised with a Bobby pin and it worked just as good thank you soooo much

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

I'm so glad this hack worked for you!

[@sarahrichardson3555]

Lakendra Thomas me tooooo

[@taniasmith8928]

Lakendra Thomas IM ABOUT TO DO THAT LIL

[@susanbender2953]

I taped it to a long wooden coffee stirrer. It was fast. For those if us with little patience.☺ a chopstick would work too.

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Ooh, that's a fantastic idea!!

[@joannoliveira7945]

I was thinking about trying something like a skewer or chopstick. I know the safety pin trick, but can’t push it past a seam that runs down the back.

[@joannoliveira7945]

And minutes later, the swim trunks once again have a drawstring!

[@drewrupprecht2404]

i came here looking for a way to do this..tried tapping tge string to a chopstick and 2 minutes later it was fixed

[@lwaysid]

try a strong magnet on the safety pin and pull it through from the outside

[@darkthought7860]

Finally a straight to the point tutorial.

[@nancyl.578]

Thank you for your helpful tip. I just was able to rethread a drawstring that was completely out of a pair of athletic pants. The safety pin was the key! It really works.

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Hi Nancy, I'm so glad this helped you! :) Yay for working drawstrings!

[@fiyintoyo2021]

Thank you so much. I don’t comment on KZbin videos but I had to thank you because I had been struggling for a whole week with this and this worked seamlessly. Thank you so much

[@agitatedafriyk5619]

This saved me so much time, and my sanity. Thank you!

[@shadedwulf]

5 years later I have come for your wisdom thank you much

[@TimberMntWolf]

Oh my gosh I Love You!!! I have been trying to re-thread my sweat pants for the longest. Then as always that light bulb went off in my head and I saw the words YOU-TUBE in neon lights and sure enough the answer I needed, You were the ONLY tutorial I needed, worked like a charm, Thank You!!!

[@Chiccp101]

Oh geesh, what a simply clever technique! Thanks!

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

You're welcome! :)

[@keithnorris8982]

I was going through dresser drawers and found 5 different items without draw strings and almost pitched them. "Wait a minute, I'm going to look on KZbin." Amazing how you can learn just about anything on KZbin. ALSO, I subscribed to your channel. Thanx Ms. Clarity :-) 77 and still learning.

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Hi Keith, thanks for your comment and subscribing! I’m happy that you came to KZbin to learn and found my video that helped you. You’re right, you can learn just about anything here! Take care, and keep learning!! 😀

[@Carter_marvin]

Thank you for this I have been trying to re-thread my pant string for over 45 minutes

[@randman21]

🤯 Ma'am! I found some random paper clips in my house recently, and just tried this. I've thrown so many shorts away when the drawstring comes out in the laundry, but you just saved the life of my favorite pair. Thank you!

[@Space-raven]

My daughters cheer shorts! Thank you so much!!! Very very much appreciated 💕💕💕

[@camrongregor2607]

You saved me the cost of purchasing new fleece pants. Ty.

[@cattbernardo]

Wow this is very effective and time saving too. Thank you for sharing this practical hack I really do appreciate this. My daughter's jogger pants and shorts are now rethreaded. I am now a new subscriber 😊 God bless you! 🙏

[@midast2361]

The real reason why I love KZbin. Thanks a lot!

[@slickstretch6391]

Thank you for saving my shorts from the donation pile.

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

You’re welcome! 🤗

[@tpte]

You solved my original problem but created another one. My pants are fixed but now I'm in love. 😍

[@Dale-TND]

Bless you woman! Just threaded an old shoe string through an old hoodie thanks to you!

[@alyssabria]

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! 🙏🏻 I didn’t had a safety pin but I did had a paper clip so I used that instead. I was worried because my pants were a thicker material and the drawstring is just a long flat piece of silk but it worked and my hands hurts now. I tried to watch other videos which had different methods but they did not help. Like I was stuck for a whole month on these pants and because of your video, not only did I fixed them but I also saved like $10 so thank you so much.

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Hi Alyssa, I'm so glad you made it work! It's a great feeling to save money by putting in some effort. Thanks for watching!

[@zivanshe]

I knew smart people on KZbin would help me! :D ;) Thank you! :)

[@cheyennearrowood2022]

OMG thank you this helped I have been struggling for a month trying to fix my shorts and I finally fixed them with you truck

[@randomshorts6862]

Ty Young Lady, this was amazing and so helpful. Never ever doubt yourself. you're helping millions believe me. You're amazing 👏 🤩 your a very bright star, and you should know it, but I mean that in the very best way possible 😊 😉 😀 ❤️ 😊 🎉 🕊

[@axabellq]

bro thank you so much your an angel! i just bought some very soft fleece pajama pants and the drawstring snapped and i usually order a large size so they can be baggy and i was so stressed out because everywhere i would walk the pants would almost fall off. this took lots of attemps but it was definitely worth it THANK YOU

[@davestewart4030]

Saved me a lot of time, such a logical and fast fix. Thank you

[@Exploro]

I used a plastic coated paper clip, inserting it twice through the draw string, then bending it shut, and bending the opposite end into a nice curve to slide and not hang up. But GREAT inspiration and HERE'S to you!! (It helped that I couldn't find a safety pin! LOL!)

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

How creative!! I’m glad you found something that worked for you. Thanks for watching!

[@ChristyMurphyWriter]

To the point and absolutely delivered. Makes total sense. Thank you.

[@StarlingClarice1]

Thanks for this! I'm making a new drawstring for an old skirt and I couldn't for the life of me remember if I needed to double the cord if I could just measure the waistband and account for the excess I wanted.

[@chuckwagon3718]

Thank you! Good idea, much easier than what I was doing before. I'll keep this in mind!

[@kevingraham4605]

Thank u! This was the reason the internet was invented! Sensational!

[@Amoola83]

Genius! I was faffing about with a pen, chopsticks etc and couldn’t get them all the way to the end. This was much easier!

[@khouzama]

worked easily and was actually fun doing it ! Thank you so much you saved me at time ! ❤️

[@DZM0N]

I’m so glad I discovered this tutorial❤️ this helped me retread my sleep shorts thank you so much👍

[@darealbungle8113]

Thank you! 🙏 I tried this method on my Adidas joggers & it worked a treat! It didn’t take long to do either!

[@shyannathomas4145]

Your method worked but since I couldn't find a safety pin I use a paperclip but it still did the job

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Awesome! I'm so glad you made it work!

[@teenafithian3561]

It worked! Took about 15 min. Hubby happy. Thank you.

[@stanleyroberts6669]

Hey lady before I watch your video, I knew I had too use a safety pin but didn't know how to thread it, now I Know thank you very much, scr

[@daves2822]

You can also use the aglet (plastic tip) point the tip up with the bottom down and push, then push the tip down and push the bottom while it sticks up. Its slower and probably better if the drawstring retracts halfway in the guide loop. Couldnt find a safety pin so had to improvise. The purplish blue highlight in your video made my day by the way

[@eminent757]

That worked like a charm! This is my go-to going forward... thanks.

[@Wayneraltman]

Genius!!! Thank you for doing this. I had been working on another method for 20 minutes.

[@adamcrownvictoriacarrepair7105]

Ha!! Lookie here, I was mad the shorts I received had no string. Now I can fix that problem. Thanks!

[@capoeira102]

It worked great, thank you. The only thing I did differently was put tape around the safety pin to prevent it from opening while threading it through.

[@adamanimaga3969]

Thank you been trying to figure out how to do this since as a kid ❤

[@computerweenie]

Thank you for this video. I just purchased two new pairs of shorts online and when one of them came out of the washer on the very first wash, the string was out. I had no idea what to do. This was very fast and painless;)

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Hi Mike, that’s frustrating, I’m glad you were able to fix them!

[@whoisharo4689]

You're so pretty!

[@ericjhendo]

I just watched your video and decided to try it on my son's football shorts and it worked a treat in under 5 mins thanks very much

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

So glad the video helped you, and you saved the shorts!

[@cantstopaturtle]

Thank you. You just saved me another 25 minutes.

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Yes!! 🤗

[@jforjxdi]

Omg I just tried this by taping the ribbon to a chopstick and got it to the other end!! This hack works

[@E-utube]

in addition to the tips, I find your vids great to practice my English pronunciation skills lol...something about your articulation and looks, it's soothing :)

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

+music obs How sweet, thank you! What is your first language?

[@E-utube]

I'm from southeastern Europe :)

[@neoncut]

[@6freaker]

[@elboglass3045]

[@danieljordan2285]

Thank you you kind soul. I have plenty of safety pins around my apartment. I didn't really want to buy a drawstring rethreader 🙏

[@dto1984]

That worked fantastically. Thank you.

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Good job! I’m happy it worked for you!

[@dkumar5507]

Its a fantastic idea and it worked

[@nothinglikethesunfnv5951]

Just the Video I Was Looking For - INGENIOUS...!💃👍

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Glad you found your answer here!! 🥳✨

[@cweefy]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you 😊

[@Kidcreo]

Beautiful!…& the tip was good too 👍🙂

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

+Danber's You're welcome! Hope it comes in handy sometime!

[@NativeMamba26]

Omg, thank you 😊. When a drawstring comes out my shorts or sweatpants I will usually just go buy new ones. But these shorts are only 4 days old and I’m not going to go buy new ones this time

[@DansHouse2022]

YOU DA REAL MVP! 👏 I have a brand new UFC Venum sweatpants. The first wash literally ripped the string out...

[@daisymae3883]

Thank you for this simple and quick solution.

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

[@JF0x]

This trick worked great for me. Very quick. Thanks so much!

[@knots23]

Finally just fix my basketball shorts lace.. a very easy method and very understandable.. good job👍👍😘😘

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

Woo hoo!! 🏀💕🎉 Good job on fixing them! 🙌

[@jayceonasmith]

Oh my goodness this works I tried it with a bobby pin still amazing thx🙏

[@yoganimuzikloverwill749]

This worked like a charm. Thank you so much for helping me fix my jacket😉

[@lawrencegervasio7363]

Amazing hack. Was planning to use a bbq stick to push the string but will end up breaking the shorts. This is so much easier and safer for my shorts. Hahaha. Tnx

[@kalel311superman9]

this worked for me a few minutes ago thanks a lot

[@chilltown1414]

this is gonna help me fix at least 5 pairs of shorts! thank you!

[@clearingclutterforclarity1508]

That’s awesome!! 🙌

[@vaward]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Works great!

[@silver10188]

what's nicer than the trick is the new vocabularies and expressions.

[@solanowalter92]

Goat. The other dood wanted me to use a wire coat hanger. Who even has those anymore sheesh.

[@antonboludo8886]

Thank you for reminding me of this technique. I did hit a snag along the way, though. The head of the safety pin could not get through. At each quarter of the way of these shorts are additional material inside the corridor through which the string can go, but not the head of the safety pin.

[@thetransferaccount4586]

why does this not have 10 M views? i thought this was a common problem

[@brainrotted16yearold]

you're a literal angel thank you 😭😭 i just ordered sweatpants and my dumbass somehow pulled the drawstring out ☠️☠️

[@gaming222-s4g]

Wow I never thought of using safety pin. Thankssss

Thanks I have many of the pins so I’ll try this at home

[@kennethcaube3133]

You earn my like! Thankyou so much!

[@whatislifebro]

Your eyes are so beautiful i had to re watch to see how to actually do it

[@randygreen007]

This method sure beats my coat hanger method. 🙏❤️
