pieces overlapping at holes. Insert one end of lacing through
both holes and continue lacing up side. Insert other end
of lacing from opposite side and continue lacing up same
side, filling in areas between holes, refer to photo for

plastic lacing. Measure off 24” and cut all three.
Fold all three pieces in half at center and insert into
one of the holes from the front to the inside. Pull out
loop then insert ends through loop. Carefully pull ends
to tighten knot. Continue with remaining fringe.

lengths of four different colors of plastic lacing. Thread
