What You'll Need:

Let's Do This!

Step 1:

A) Print out the template to use as a guide for color placement.

Step 2:

A)Cut cardstock into the strips needed to make the pattern. Tip: Be very precise when cutting the strips so that the finished piece is neat and properly aligned.

a) You will need 3/4" x 6" loop pieces in the following colors and amounts:

i) 7 Pink, 9 Purple, 12 Green, 14 Light Blue, 16 Dark Blue

b) You will need 3/4" x 3" connector pieces in the following colors and amounts:

i) 7 Pink, 9 Purple, 12 Green, 14 Light Blue, 5 Dark Blue

Step 3:

A) Use the edge of a table to pull each strip of paper back and forth.

B) This will add a smooth curve to the paper strips.

C) Use this technique on all of the loop pieces and connector pieces.

Step 4:

A) Hot glue all the 3/4" x 6" loops so they are completed and ready to use. Tip: Keep the seam overlap the same when gluing so the finished loops are uniform in size.

Step 5:

A) Follow the color pattern on the template to gather the loops needed to make the first strand. Note: Connector pieces should be the color of the top loop.

B) Insert a connector piece between the first two loops. Add hot glue to the connector piece and press the ends together.

C) This will make a smaller loop and connect the main loops. Repeat the process to connect the remaining loop on the first strand.

D) The first strand is now complete!
