Instructions:

1. Use your hand or a piece of wood to wrap the line with.

2. Overlap so braiding could be started.
3. Braid the end when you reach the third pass, and then hold the
loops together. Rotate so you could continue braiding easily.
4. Follow around the same path for all three turns and then tuck in the
ends to finish.
