Step 2

Secondly, tie a knot at the top to hold the strings together. Leave some space above the knot.

Step 3

Place a piece of tape above the knot. Make sure the string is fasten tightly beneath the tape and the tape is secured on the surface you taped it to.  

Step 4

Now pick up the string farthest to the left and move it even farther to the left and clump the other 2 strings together.

Step 5

Overlap the left string over the clumped strings so it looks like a 4.

Step 6

Grab the right most part of the 4 and bring it inside the 4 and pull towards your chest.

Step 7

Repeat step 6 20 times on the same color.

Step 8

Finally move onto the middle string and repeat steps 4-7, then go onto the right string. You should have enough space left to repeat this step again.
