TUTORIAL: Re-thread Drawstring on Shorts / Pants / Hoodie
This only takes 2 minutes to do!!
I know you know how frustrating it is when one end of your drawstring disappears into your clothes and you can't figure out how to get it back out. I'm here to help!
It's really simple, all you need is a safety pin. I'll show you how. ;)

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.
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!!

I’m so glad some of you are finding success with paper clips! Good work!
I taped it to a long wooden coffee stirrer. It was fast. For those if us with little patience.☺ a chopstick would work too.

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.

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

I struggled for two days even thought about using a wire coat hanger. You, my dear, saved the day.
Finally a straight to the point tutorial.
I didn’t have a safety pin so I improvised with a Bobby pin and it worked just as good thank you soooo much

My daughters cheer shorts! Thank you so much!!! Very very much appreciated 💕💕💕
Thank you so much. I don’t comment on KZread 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
This saved me so much time, and my sanity. Thank you!
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!!!
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.

Hi Nancy, I'm so glad this helped you! :) Yay for working drawstrings!
6 years ago but still so helpful. Thank you!!! ❤
You saved me the cost of purchasing new fleece pants. Ty.
Bless you woman! Just threaded an old shoe string through an old hoodie thanks to you!
I’m so glad I discovered this tutorial❤️ this helped me retread my sleep shorts thank you so much👍
This worked like a charm. Thank you so much for helping me fix my jacket😉
Thank you for this I have been trying to re-thread my pant string for over 45 minutes
Thank you! 🙏 I tried this method on my Adidas joggers & it worked a treat! It didn’t take long to do either!
🤯 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!
Genius!!! Thank you for doing this. I had been working on another method for 20 minutes.
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
That worked like a charm! This is my go-to going forward... thanks.
It worked! Took about 15 min. Hubby happy. Thank you.
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
Oh geesh, what a simply clever technique! Thanks!

Genius yet simple. Thanks
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.

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
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Works great!
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 KZread." Amazing how you can learn just about anything on KZread. ALSO, I subscribed to your channel. Thanx Ms. Clarity :-) 77 and still learning.

thank you so much! this helped me fix the string on my bathing suit! you are so much help!
This trick worked great for me. Very quick. Thanks so much!
Exactly what I needed. Thank you 😊
Its a fantastic idea and it worked
Omg I just tried this by taping the ribbon to a chopstick and got it to the other end!! This hack works
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.
That was so simple and effective. Thank you!

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
Ha!! Lookie here, I was mad the shorts I received had no string. Now I can fix that problem. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the idea🌹
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!
Worked like a charm!!! Thank you
great video.. i dont have to throw out my new shorts now. and you are beautiful!
Thank u! This was the reason the internet was invented! Sensational!
Thank you you kind soul. I have plenty of safety pins around my apartment. I didn't really want to buy a drawstring rethreader 🙏
Beautiful!…& the tip was good too 👍🙂
This is life saving information!!
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.
Legend! Thanks for the help
Just did this with a paperclip because I couldn't find a safety pin, thank you soo much! My urban camo And1 shorts are good to go.
Worked like a charm👍
👍👍👍 It worked! Thanks a bunch!
You earn my like! Thankyou so much!
Brilliant! So simple
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!)

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.
Thank you for this simple and quick solution.

I think part of the secret here is to use a larger safety pin when pulling it through. I had to use a safety pin which was almost 2 inches long, worked like a breeze. Than tie a knot on the end of the string so it wont pull out again.
