"We'll start by measuring out our fishing line, our nylon fishing line. We want to double our fishing line because we want an extra strong string. And we're going to measure out double the full length of the pattern plus another half length. And that will give us plenty to work with. It?s folded in half double. And then just cut that off. And we're going to first string our fishing line onto our divider, all three of them, and we'll start beading. So to attach it to the first side of our divider you want to fold your fishing line in half and put the loop through the hole of the divider like this, open up the hole and then put the remaining thread through that hole. And that will secure the fishing line to our divider. Do that with all three strands."
