A Kid Friendly Version of Brigids Cross
Materials:
pipe cleaners
string or yarn
Directions:
1. Make a bundle with 6 pipe cleaners and bend them in half. Tie the ends all together with a piece of string.
2. Lay the pipe cleaner bundle on the table in a vertical position, with the tied end on the top.
3. Make a second bundle, again using 6 pipe cleaners, and bend them in half.
4. Before you tie the ends this time though, slip it through the middle of the other bundle so that they're linked.
5. Now tie the ends and lay this second bundle down in a horizontal position with the tied ends pointing to the right. If you did it right your shape should look like the letter "L".
6. Now you're going to repeat the procedure. Make a bundle with 6 pipe cleaners, bend them in half and, before you tie them, slip them through the middle of the horizontal bundle, just to the right of the first bundle. This batch should be in a vertical position, with the tied ends on the bottom.
7. The last step is to make one last bundle, slipping it through the middle of the batch you just laid down, only this one goes horizontally to the left. Now tie the ends. You should now have an upside down "L" linked through your right side up one.
