Tieing a noose?

Question

I'm working on props for a stage production and i have to make a noose for the last scene. Note: no one is actually hung- the 'killer' simply uses it to dangle in front of his potential victim and then he places it around her neck as she kneels on the floor- at no time is anyone in danger of actually hanging.

I do need a realistic noose, though.

I've seen people give links to realknots.com but all it does is gice an overview and then a link to someplace else with more detail- the 'some place else' link won't open.

I need to know how long of rope/what type to buy and how many loops to make, etc.

Thanks so much!
