Holding that piece with your finger, turn the sticks over and begin wrapping the yarn from stick to stick, wrapping once around each stick as you work your way around in the “flower”. Once you get all the way around, adjust the yarn upward and continue going around again. Do this a third time to complete the web.

Begin wrapping the yarn from stick to stick,

Turn the sticks over to the backside and add glue to all the yarn intersections. Let dry.

Tip: This wrapping technique is similar to that of a dream catcher. Simply stretch, wrap, stretch, wrap, and so on.
