Soap on a rope...what rope?

I've found those large straws at the dollar store before.

Yes, I agree nylon and polypro ropes can look about the same. Nylon doesn't tie a hard knot (one that will stay tied), but polypro does. I'd think that's a quality you'll want for your project. Nylon absorbs water and it also stretches under load, but polypro doesn't -- properties that aren't too important for you, but there ya go.

Statin ribbon? I have seen some with ribbon in them with cute lol knots. They were embedded and not tied through a carved hole.
