To keep it, print it while it is open.
You can join three strands by crossing them over each other again and again. Your hands do the work, and the strands turn into one small, strong braid.
In the picture
- Clip: holds the tops of the strands still while you braid
- Tight braid: strands crossed over each other, pulled snug and even
- Loose strand: waits its turn to be crossed over the others
- Glue stick: another way to join materials by sticking them together
Examples
- Braiding a friendship bracelet from three colours of wool
- Tying a ribbon in a bow to close a small gift
Key takeaways
- A braid joins three strands by crossing them over each other in turn.
- Pulling gently and evenly makes the braid neat and tight.
