For this craft, you will need:
  1. Scissors
  2. Ribbon (About 28" should be more than enough)
  3. Glue Gun
  4. Yarn (one or two colors, its is up to you)

Here are the steps to completing this craft:

1. Creating the strands: Cut three strands of yarn of 48" each. Tie all three strands together on one end and braid them. Once you've braided the entire thing, tie all the loose ends together. You should have one long braided strand of about 40" long.

2. Make 4 strands: Repeat step one until you have 4 braided strands of about 40" long each. You can make them all the same color, or use different colors like I did.

3. Creating the "Short Strand": Grab 1 of the 4 braided strands and fold it in three like this:

Then fold it in two like this:

From now on, this strand will be referred to as the "Short Strand"


4. Creating the "Long Strand": Grab the three braided strands you have left and fold them in half like this:

From now on, this strand will be referred to as the "Long Strand"


5. Tying the Knot: Start by crossing the right strand over the left strand of the "Long Strand":

Then grab that same strand of the "Short Strand" and place it under and then over the "Long Strand" like so:
