Step 1

Cross two sticks on top of each other and wrap them together using orange embroidery floss to secure them tightly, then tie a knot and trim the excess floss.
TIP: Use image as guide.

Step 2

Connect another stick to the bottom of the sticks from Step 1 to make a triangle. Wrap that stick using embroidery floss to secure them tightly, then tie a knot and trim the excess floss. Continue doing this with the other end of the stick to complete your triangle.

Step 3

Tie the end of your green embroidery floss onto one of the sticks. Weave the tied green embroidery floss back and forth around and between the sticks. When done, tie the floss onto one of the sticks and trim the excess floss.

Step 4

Place items found in nature (such as leaves, acorns, etc.) within the woven floss.
