Video Transcript

"Next we are going to make the Chinese staircase. You can get as many colors as you want, I chose three you can get four or you can get two. But you can't use one because it just doesn't work. So what you do is put them all together you make them probably twenty-four inches long to twenty-two inches it just depends on how big your wrist is. You tie a knot right on the end. You can put two just to make it look a little bigger so it stays on your clip. Okay I hook it on to my clip board or my clip and what you do is you get your color in and separate it like the other two. Like this. You separate it like this so you get your colors which I am using blue. So you get your blue string and you put it under and sort of make four like that. You are going to pull the blue string through and you are going to gently pull it right through the end and that makes a knot. So you do it again, make a four, you go under to make a four and you pull the blue string in and pull it. You make a four pull the blue strings again. If you want to do it in different colors you switch colors you put the blue back in and I'm going to pull out the red. You put the blue and the green together over here so you do the exact same thing you make a four like this and you pull it through. You make a four and you pull it through. You make a four and you pull it through, pull it down to the bottom so it doesn't get loose or anything. Now I'm going to switch to the green color. So you put the red and blue together. So I have the green so when you make the four you want to make sure that you go under not over the other string and you pull it through. Okay this is what it looks like when it is done. You can make it as long as you want and you tie it around for your wrist and you can cut the end of the string off, like I am about to do. Tie it. Make a knot and you slip it on your wrist. Just like this. "
