Pentagram (Star) Harness v1
Very attractive and somewhat unusual, this harness can serve as a great anchor for other layers of bondage. If you like religious- or occult-themed scenes, this can be a fun binding for your favorite witch. 🙂
Notes: This harness can be placed on the chest only or so as to also bind the arms. This is the chest-only version.
For this tutorial, I used one 30′ (~9m) piece of Natural 6mm provided by my affiliate Twisted Monk.
Check them out for some amazing hemp rope!
Pictures & Text
1. Start with a longer rope folded in half.
2. Run the rope around the lower chest/below the breasts if your partner has breasts.
3. Reach through the bight to grab the tail.
4. Reverse tension.
5. Pull the tail up over the shoulder…
6. …and down between the breasts, laying it on top of the lower chest band that is already there.
7. Place your finger under the chest band on the same side as the rope is coming in from.
You can see what I mean in the picture.
8. Hook the tail and pull the rope through…
9. If you wish, you can pull the chest strap upward a little to raise and support the breasts.
10. Now bring the tail to the other side, forming this nice decorative twist.
Once you get the hang of it, you can add this twist with a single deft move (+ style points).
11. Bring the tail to the other shoulder.
12. Bring the tail to the back. Place your finger under the chest strap on the opposite side and hook the tail.
13. Pull the tail through.
14. Like this.
15. Reverse tension, laying the tail on top of the shoulder straps.
16. Begin wrapping the tail around the body…
17. …across the upper chest/above the breasts. You now have a choice to make. You can simply lay it straight across both shoulder straps, or you can choose to interweave it so that your final pentagram has a woven appearance. I’m going to demonstrate the woven approach: Look at this line.
18. You see how it lays on top of another rope down here? The rule we’re going to use is that we will lay our tail on top of any rope that goes over top of a different rope, and go under any rope that goes under another rope. One way to say this is “over the overs and under the unders”
19. With that in mind, we will lay it on top of this shoulder strap…
20. …but run it underneath this shoulder strap.
21. Like this.
22. Now you can see the beginnings of a woven pattern here.
23. Continue running the tail to the back.
24. Reach under the centerline just above the lower chest strap.
25. Feed the tail to your fingers.
26. And pull it through.
27. Like this.
28. Reverse tension and run the rope back the way you came (under the arms), above the strand that is already there.
29. Bring the rope to the front.
30. Here you can see that the shoulder strap lays on top of the rope closest to where we are working, so…
31. We will our tail on top of the shoulder strap.
This spreads the pressure across a greater area and makes it more comfortable. … comfort being one of our primary goals in BDSM…
32. Run the rope across the upper chest to the opposite shoulder. Place it close to the neck so that the two sets of lines lay next to each other and not on top of each other.
This spreads the pressure across a greater area and makes it more comfortable. … comfort being one of our primary goals in BDSM…
33. Bring the line to the back.
34. Place your finger under one or both of the lines going to the upper chest on the other side.
35. Hook the tail and pull it through.
36. Then reach under them from the opposite quadrant. Grab the tail…
37. …and pull it through.
38. Like this.
39. Run the rope under the opposite arm, again placing it above the line that is already there.
40. Bring the tail to the front. Note that the line we are coming to…
41. …is underneath the rope closest to where we are working.
42. We want to go “under the unders”, so the tail needs to go underneath this shoulder line.
43. The next shoulder strap lies on top of the line closest to where we’re working, so…
44. …our tail now goes on top of it , “over the overs”.
45. Run the tail to the opposite shoulder, again making sure that it lays parallel to the other line and not on top of it.
46. Bring the line to the back and again run it on top of all the shoulder lines on the other side.
47. Reach under the upper chest lines on the other side to hook the tail and pull it through.
48. The harness itself is basically done and we just need to lock it off.
There are many ways you can do it depending on how much rope you have left over. If you have only a little rope left over, you could just tie it off with a couple of half hitches to any of these lines on the opposite side of where the rope is now. I happen to have a little more rope so I’m going to weave it into the shoulder straps.
49. (These are optional steps to use up the remaining rope.) I’m going to reach under the shoulder straps on the other side and hook the tail…
50. …pulling it through and up. I can now make a figure-8 weave between these shoulder straps.
51. Pull the rope under one side….
52. …
53. …then through the other side.
54. Thus.
55. Do this over and over until you run out of rope.
56. When you only have a little rope leftover…
57. …tuck it underneath the pad formed by the weave.
58. This is the completed back.
59. Complete from the front.

Nice tie. Great explanation. I like to doe a litle bit of under and over in the front to make the pentagram look like it is drawn with one line. Also i weave the four strands that run over shoulders in back to add a little bit more stability.
Is there a way to, cleanly, integrate breast bondage, into this tie?
Yes! I would start by attaching a new rope around the two line on the outside of the breasts. Add the rope with a simple Lark’s Head and then wrap the breasts from there. You can also connect in to the other lines of the Star if you need to help hold the wrapping lines more tightly to the chest for the first wrap, and go from there…
