STEP 1: Step 1
STEP 1
First gather a couple of strings that you will use.. contrasting colours look the best :)
you can use six (or more) different colours , or you could use two , .

STEP 2
Next cut the pieces of string to the size that you like,
long or short, it doesnt really matter , you just dont want to make it too short , becasue it is alot harder if it is really really short..
then you tie the strings up together at the top,
NOTE: make sure that if you are doing yyour plat with two strings, make sure that the same colour isnt next to eachother,
example.. black , white , black , white , ..

using string 1 , weave it over and under the other strings , make sure when you get to the end to keep it away from the other strings , and pull it tight , not to tight though because you might ruin it.
