Help! Wedding in 20 mins

So here goes nothing... I'm trying to hopelessly attach this string back to the base of itself where it comes from in my dress.

What knot can I use? With a name i can look up a tutorial.

Thanks so much if anyone replies in time!

Also I tried a half knot with slip recommended by Claude but welp, doesn't seem to stay.

Knot work knife handle

I bought the two pack of paring knives just to mess with. This is the result. I’m not a leather worker, so the sheath is not that great.

Loop question

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask.

What will be the best way to tie a knot to create a loop for my hammock. I tied a retreaded figure 8 knot but i don't know if it is strong enough if i use it like this with 2 hanging points in the same loop instead of the 'normal' way to use a loop. If you know what i mean. I included a picture of the situation.

Thanks in advance!

Water bottle carry hands free

There are numerous ways to attach paracord to a drink bottle but can you carry the drink bottle without having to use your hands? I go on long walks and sometimes carry a small drink bottle but I'd like to go hands-free. I can tie 2 loops a small distance apart to capture the bottle but can't progress beyond that. I accept that there would be some movement of the bottle as you walk but if kept to a minimum this would work for me. The attachment points could be upper arm for a small plastic bottle or a backpack type carry where the bottle sits on my back.

A good knot for restraining someone.

I am not asking because I plan to engage in BDSM, I'm asking because I'm doing research for a fanfiction, and I genuinely cannot find a good answer elsewhere. Figured I'd ask the experts.

For some context: I am writing a scene where one character (B) got kidnapped by another (A), and is now bound to a chair while being interrogated. However, character B notices that the birds are not as uncomfortable as they could've been, and uses that as evidence to suggest that character A actually likes character B (They're supposed to hate each other, long story).

Character B's arms are bound to the armrests of the chair at the wrists. I need a knot that's both sturdy and non painful in this context (though not necessarily comfortable). Ideally, it would be a kind of knot that, at most, military personnel would learn on the job, and at least, the average person would be able to do with light research. At this point in the story, character A does not care enough about character B to go out of their way to look into niche/obscure types of knots just to make them more comfortable, but if given the opportunity, they will choose one that is less harmful.

Is there a good knot app for Android (not Knot 3D)?

Knots 3D's way of displaying the knots just doesn't make sense to me. I really loved the steps method and pretty much everything about the Animated Knots by Grog app.

I paid for it, but got a new phone and it's no longer in the Play Store. I tried emailing but got no response. Additionally, I cannot find an APK despite being pretty alright at that sort of thing. But that app was simple and perfect.

Is there a new knot app that is any good that I'm missing? I know I could theoretically just go to the website but I am often out of service, and just find that experience clunky.

Help with Lashing

I'm trying to affix a handle onto a large prop so that small actors (middle schoolers) have something to hold onto while manipulating it. No matter what I try, I can't seem to find a why to securely tie this on in a way that maintains compression to the object. Anyone have some advice?
