STEP 2: Drill Holes
using a drill and really small bit, the same size as the wire you choose, drill your holes so they line up when you put the squares together
STEP 3: Making U's
cut the wire into 2-3" sections bend them around the pliers making a U
put them through the holes
put them through the holes
STEP 4: Twist Together
using a drill twist the wire's together and cut down, bend over using pliers or hammer.
STEP 5: Make Sections
I found it was easiest to make the sections corresponding to color, then you can easily put it all together after its all the sections are together
STEP 6: Make Hanging Wire
