Once the glue is set, paint the support with a matching color. Glue with your adhesive choice (super glue works quite well and dries very quickly).

You can score the inside of the cardboard paper (don't go all the way through) to get a cleaner fold. Trace and cut out the arch opening with the X-acto knife. Put the hoop on the edge of the top support (as labeled in the pattern). Corrugated works better as it is thicker. Take the hoop mount support pattern in the intro and cut the piece out of cardboard. Fray the ends a little for decorative purposes if you like. Trim the strings, leaving about 1/4 to 1/2 inch string length. Once you are done, seal the bottom row knots with a dab of super glue on the knot only. Check knots often to make sure they are again at the same lengths.ĭo one last row, but this time, tie the neighbor strings at 0.75 inch, a little shorter. Repeat for all the other 7 knots, checking your knot locations often to ensure they are all at the same length.įor the second row, tie neighbor strings together to form a diamond pattern, about 1 inch down as well. Tie the knot at about 1 inch (or whatever you choose) and make sure both sides are equidistant, forming a triangle. Grab one string from one tied point, grab the neighboring string from the neighboring point. This ensures they remain tight and don't come undone.įollow the youtube video in the intro to create the diamond pattern about 1 inch down. After this is done, check and make sure all the tied strings are equidistant before sealing the knots with a small dab of super glue.

Repeat directly across at 6 o'clock, then 3 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and then the 1/8 locations. You will be sectioning off the hoop into 8 equal parts so starting at 12 o'clock, fold the string in half and tie a knot onto the hoop, ensuring both string lengths are the same. If you don't seal the ends, it'll be difficult to tie the knots as the strings start to unravel.

Seal the ends of each string with glue or melt the tip quickly.
