steps.

Thank you, Susan, for sharing your craft idea with me. ~Squigly
What you need:
 |
an old jump rope |
|
5 pieces of thin circular plastic (avalible at any local craft store)
or 5 plastic strings from 5 old jump ropes, but make sure they are the same
size. |
|
two handles from an old jump rope (optional) |
|
krazy glue |
|
tape |
|
an adult |
What you do:
| 1. |
Take your 5 strands and tape them together, separate them..
|
| 2. |
Take the strand on the right and bring it over the 2 strands next to it,
then go to the left strand and bring it over the next 2 strands & continue
braiding untilcompleted.
|
| 3. |
Tape the other end together so it doesn't come undone.
|
| 4. |
If you don't have handles just take the tape off and glue it together
(ask an adult to do the glueing) & you are done.
|
| 5. |
If you have handles glue the ends tightly together so that they fit in
the holes of the handle, then glue it inside the handle. |
