Take the end of the second strip and insert it through its hole on the other end.

Pull until it locks.

Step 4:

Insert the working end through the toothbrush needle.

Fold the working strip across the strip to make a loop, then insert the needle.

Pull the fabric all the way while holding it with your index finger.

Repeat and this time use your ring finger.

Move your fingers and keep repeating the process until there are 6 holes.

Step 5:

Turn it over so the needle is on the left side.

Join the two ends of the holes that you just created.

Line up the end of the other strip with the first hole.

Insert the needle through the first hole, pushing it through underneath the other strip to make a knot.

Repeat the process for the other holes.

The holes will become bigger as you keep going around.

If its too big, make two loops in one hole.

If you run out of fabric, just repeat step 3.
