you got it drawn on there, then you're gonna take some blanket binding . You can get this at any craft store, any fabric store, and what's so special about this is it's a large of piece of ribbon essentially that's folded right in the center, so it's got this little pocket to it. So you take your blanket binding and now with the frame that you've made for your window, you actually cut it to the right size and put your blanket binding right on the cardboard like I've done here. Once you got all 4 sides of your blanket binding on, and you got them pinned into place, you wanna use some fabric glue and you don't wanna glue it to the cardboard. You're just gluing the ribbon to one another. So then you've got your frame made like I have here, and using a little bit of masking tape to hold it down and some pins, you can use one or the other. The pins are fantastic. Then, you're creating spokes for your web. This is also out of a satin ribbon, black satin ribbon, and you cut it to the size that you want your spokes to be. You open up your blanket binding and you add a little bit of glue inside of the binding like this, and with the pin, you pin it down into the cardboard so that it dries really nicely and stays place. So now I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna put this one right about here, and I'm gonna put this one, let's see, right about there. And then, I've got my final spoke right here. So, I'm gonna place it somewhere right around here. Again, opening up your blanket binding , putting a little bit of glue. This takes a little while to dry, so you don't wanna do this project like right
