Step One
Glue four Creativity Street® Craft Sticks together at ends. Make sure ends touch each other so that the square is as wide as can be. Let dry for about an hour.
Step Two
Slide at least nine rubber bands onto square as shown. Spread them out evenly.
Step Three
Cut strips of paper about 7" long by varying widths (1/4" to 1/2"). Weave strands of paper into the rubber bands and pull to center. Push all strips up to make room for as many more as possible.
Step Four
Continue weaving strips of paper until the board is full. Trim ends. Add a string hanger to display, if desired, by tying the ends to the corners.
