Step 6Begin Braiding
If you do not know how to braid, the following Instructable seems to be rather educational, How To Braid.
I first started by tying the first three strips together. I then placed a rather heavy dictionary I have onto the knot, and then started braiding. To make my rug, I braided the initial center white spot. The center is only three strips (bags) so it didn't take very long.
Be sure to leave a tail for each strip. This is where you will tie on the next bag. It is actually better if the tails are different lengths because it will force the continuing knots to be in different places. (more on this later)
As with many projects that become Intructables later on, I missed getting pictures of the very beginning, but the pictures below should explain it okay.
