2.  Then you cut your ten pieces of paper out.
3.  After that you place five strips on the ground/mat next to each other,about  2 cm width apart.
4. Then grab one of the strips that are not on the ground/mat and weave it through the ones on the ground/mat buy going under the first one and over the next one until you get to the end.
5.  Repeat step 4 using the 4 strips remaining.
6.  Once you have completed step 5 you careful push the strips in to the middle so their touching each other and make the inside makes a square.
