Stop! Floggertime! QP Gets Crafty…

You see that? It’s a TUTORIAL! I actually made a tutorial! How to make a relatively decent flogger with really low budget materials…

What I used: Clothesline Cord, sturdy plastic rope with a thin metal thread inside which I bought for less than a euro in the Belgian equivalent of a dollar store (the “Wibra”), Duct Tape, also at the Wibra for just 1 euro, an empty toilet roll, a cheap old ring-shaped earring (any ring-shaped object will do really), normal transparent tape (basic office supplies), and scissors.

The Steps:

1. Measure the length you have in mind for flogger+handle, take twice that length, and cut it off. Fold it in the middle.
2. Repeat step one until you have used up all the cord and you have a whole pile of folded cord-ends.
3. Put the ring-shaped earring on the cord and fix it in the folding crack.
4. Start putting duct tape around the end of your flogger, where the handle is going to be. As you can see I put scrunchies around the cords, so that the flogger stays in one piece nicely while putting the tape in place.
5. Cut the toilet roll and fold a piece around the already taped handle. This will make the handle sturdier and easier on the hands.
6. Tape over the toilet roll so that it stays in place. Add as many layers of tape as you like. (You can see I removed the scrunchies. They are NOT under the tape.)
7. The Clothesline Cord has a metal thread in it, so unless you want to really shred your back you’ll want to cover ends up with tape. I did some ends in transparent tape and others in duct tape, for a bit of a visual effect.
8. Now your flogger is ready for action!

Good Things About This Flogger: Number one is of course that it’s about as cheap as you can get. Also, there are many ways of making this kind of flogger more stylish: ribbon or fabric around the handle, other colors of cord, pearls or spikes on the cord ends, a fun tassel on the ring,… the possibilities are virtually limitless. As for the length I chose, it is perfect for “mortification of the flesh” as well as regular floggings. Multifunctional!
