Assembly

• There are two ways of assembling.
• 1. Using a 16’inch yarn piece. Thread one end of the yarn through the yarn needle.
• Make 3 folds the length of the strip about 2 ½ inches each fold.
• Insert the yarn needle through the center and through all the layers of the folds out through the bottom. Make sure not to pull the yarn out of the top. Next move the yarn needle over a stitch and run it back up through the folds. Remove the yarn needle. Bring the ends of the yarn together and tie a knot to secure a loop near the top fold. Tip. Keep loose so the folds can relax a little, so they show better. Lastly, create a loop for hanging by tying a knot on the top of the yarn ends. Snip off any excess.
• 2. Using a 16’inch yarn piece. Thread one end of the yarn through the yarn needle. Add a bead. Bring the other end of the yarn piece through the yarn needle leaving the bead to hang in the middle.
• Make 3 folds the length of the strip about 2 ½ inches each fold.
• Insert the yarn needle through the center and after the first fold, insert another bead onto the yarn needle. Continue to the next folds and add another bead. End with a bead on the top. To secure the bead on the top, back through a few loops under the bead. Again, keep things a little so the folds can relax a little, so they show better.
• Lastly, create a loop for hanging by tying a knot on the top of the yarn ends. Snip off any excess.
