2. Cut out the individual shapes carefully along the solid outlines.
3. Fold the shape exactly down the middle, perpendicular to the dotted lines, as shown below.
4. Keeping it folded, cut along the dotted lines.
5. Open up your shape – you now have open slots where the dotted lines used to be. Now, take the colored paper strips and weave them through the slots, moving from one end to the other. Use any color strips of your choice, matching to the shape you’re using.
6. Cut off the extra strips at the back and stick it in place. So now the front should look all neat like this:
