Now start loosly braiding and keep braiding untill it's 15" long(there is going to be alot of extras, but I just used them to make a braided bracelet)

I'm guessing all of you peeps know how to braid but just in case you don't,
here's a picture to help.

Now cut the extras off and tie a tight knot at the end.

Take the needle and stick it through a strand of yarn near the knot.

Stick it through another strand 4"from the knot.

keep  sticking it through stargnds 4" apart
(it should be through 5 strands).


Pull the braided yarn together to the knot.
