਀ഊThat having been said, I have included a set of written instructions so that you have something to which you can refer
਀ ഊStick Weaving Instructions
਀ഊCut your warp (lengthwise) yarn at least twice the length needed for your weaving plus the ends desired (tassels, braids, etc.) Draw the end of your warp yarn through the hole in the end of the stick to the mid point of these strands. Pull the ends even and tie the ends of the doubled warp yarns into a knot. Repeat this step on each stick you will use. The warp will not be seen unless it is used for fringe on the ends of your project
਀ഊLine up your sticks side by side in your hand. Tie one end of the weft (the crosswise weaving) yarn to the first stick. (The one farthest from the ends of the fingers holding the sticks) Start wrapping yarn (the weft) over stick 1, under stick 2, over stick 3, and so on in a over/under process. Wrap the weft around the last stick, then under and over (the opposite of the previous row) until you are back at the starting point. Pull the yarn (snug but do not over tighten) at the end of each row.
਀ഊAs the weaving gets to the pointed end of the stick, don't try to push the material off the end of the stick with the warp. Take each stick and twist it gently, while pulling it forward. Do this about 1/2" at a time. In the process the beginning of your weaving will slide onto the warp threads.
਀ഊContinue weaving, until you reach the length you need for the project. To finish, tie the end around the last stick.
਀ഊGently twist each stick, while pulling it forward, until all of the weaving is on the warp threads and you have enough warp thread for to finish the ends. Tie the warp threads to one another across each of the weaving. Finish off the ends by braiding, tying, making tassels, or weaving the warp back into the weave.  You can also attach this to a buckle of some like item if you like.
