Braided Jump Rope

Dear Squigly,

I am going to tell you how to make a Braided Bead Jump Rope.

By Sierra, age 10, U.S.A.

What you need:

3 pieces of coloured yarn

Different kinds of beads

Scissors

Tape or a little heavy rock

What you do:

1. Take the three pieces of yarn and make them the same size as a jump rope, you can use an old jump rope as your measuring tool.

2. When the first piece of yarn is the correct size cut it at the end then put another piece of yarn up to the first piece and snip it off at the end. Do the same with the third piece of yarn.

3. Tie the three pieces of yarn together with a sturdy knot.

4. Tape the three pieces of yarn to a table or something sturdy or use a rock to hold the yarn down.

5. Once you have the yarn firmly secured, begin braiding the three pieces of yarn. Whenever you want, stop braiding and stick a bead on the middle string and start braiding again. Continue doing this until you have braided all the yarn.

6. Tie a knot at the end and enjoy your braided jump rope.
