You Will Need
-
Step 1What you'll need:
4 pieces of ribbon, each 2 yards long (For this bracelet, I used 1/4 inch wide but you can use any size or combination of sizes)
Scissors
Needle and thread -
Step 2Overlap the centers of all four ribbons as shown here. Secure these together by either lightly tacking together with needle and thread of adding a drop of glue to each intersection.
-
Step 3To begin weaving, fold the first ribbon down over the one underneath it.
-
Step 4We work first in a counterclockwise direction so continue to fold down the next ribbon across the one beneath it.
-
Step 5And the next
-
Step 6And finally the last
-
Step 7When you fold the last ribbon over, slip it under the loop of the first ribbon you folded down like so. Tighten all four ribbons.
-
Step 8After going around counterclockwise, reverse the pattern and fold the ribbons across working in a clockwise direction. Begin this round with the ribbon you just passed under the loop.
-
Step 9Continue repeating these two, tightening the ribbons after each round, until your weaving measures 3 1/2 inches long.
Then repeat on the opposite side of where you tacked your ribbons together. Stop when the entire piece measures 7 inches long.
-
Step 10To fasten both ends, sew a criss cross stitch through each of the four squares and cut the ribbon close to the weaving.
-
Step 11Then give the bracelet a full twist and butt the two ends up gainst one another. Whip stitch the edges together.
The bracelet will look small but it stretches to fit over your hand.

Yours idea is MUCH cuter though - who knows? Maybe I can bring the craze back again! (Or not.)
