Instructions:
1. Begin by cutting 4 pieces of 25″ 3/8″ grosgrain ribbon. Fold the ribbon in half and iron to create a crease. Next, create a simple weave to begin with. Place the ribbon so that it is between the loops and tails go through to the other side.

7. Next, you will need some sort of small tool I used an etching tool but a crochet hook or even a chopstick would probably work. Begin by placing it through the top left point to see where it leads.

8. Take the bottom right ribbon and using the tail thread it through the point on the (top) left. Then take ribbon 2 on the bottom left and thread it through the very top point (on the right). Next, take ribbon 3 very top left and loop it down to the point on the (bottom) right. Lastly, take ribbon 4 top right and loop it down through bottom point (on the left). Leave little loops as you place the ribbon through the points.
