Glue 2 sticks together at centers to form a cross shape.

To make ornament, you will wrap yarn around center of cross, then over and around one ‘arm’ of cross, turn piece clockwise and continue wrapping around remaining arms. As you wrap the yarn, be sure wraps are close to, but not on top of, previous wraps. To change colors, cut old color. Tie end of old and new color yarns together and continue wrapping.

Ornament shown has 4-6 wraps each in the following sequence: A, B, D, E, F and C.
