Beading Up and Down I

Tape the top of each ribbon flat against the cardboard, leaving about an inch between them. Insert 5 beads into the first ribbon and 10 into the second, then make a knot at the bottom to secure them. Make sure beads can slide up and down but stay in place. Model holding the ribbon end with one hand and moving beads with thumb and index finger of the other hand.

Free to do together whenever you like.
