How to Create a Craft Loop

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Miss Nancy and I'm an elementary school teacher here in Tampa, Florida. And today we are going to learn how to make a craft loop. The things we're going to need are construction paper, scissors and tape. Will you pass me the tape please? Regular old scotch tape will do. Regular scotch tape will do you can also of course use, hey if you want to use duct tape, you probably could. First thing we're going to do is take our construction paper, and cut a long strip off it. We're just going to cut a straight line all the way down. As always, if you've got little kids, safety scissors will work just fine with this, it doesn't have to be the sharp kind. Now we've got our long strip and all we have to do is circle it up to make an O, and overlap the top just like that. Now use a little piece of tape to secure the top so that you have a perfect circle. And you can continue, craft loops are great because you can make all sorts of things. One of my favorites is to make a long adventure you can use as a necklace if you want to circle it back around. You can make a head band, can I borrow your head? Thank you, or a tiara. That one little circle does wonders. If you wanted to continue..if you wanted to continue and make more you would just repeat the same process over again, cutting one long strip and grabbing your little piece of tape and then if you put it inside before you tape it up, you want to show me how to tape it up? Show me where the tape goes. Then you have a ring. And if you do enough of them just like this and you tape them back together, at the top, tape it back together at the top, you can have a complete craft loop necklace. May I borrow your neck? Thank you, and that is how you make the very versatile craft loop."
