• Fold your strings with one end 50cm long.
• Fix the strings on a board or piece of cardboard with pins, making sure the 50cm ends are inside.
• Use the long ends to tie a Square Knot (learn how to make a Square Knot here)
• Tie a Sinnet of Square Knots until you have run out of string
• Tuck the ends of the strings at the back of the sinnet, trim the excess

• Fold the thin white string in half, tie a simple knot to create a loop and pass through a bead.
• Fold the sinnet 7-8 times to create a tree shape
• With the help of the weaving needle pass the white string through the tree
