Preparing your cord:
Cut floss into two 2 yard lengths. Fold both pieces 18" from the end. Gather the folded strands together. You now have two 18" strands and two 54" strands. Tie all together into a knot 1/2" from the fold creating a small loop. Secure by taping to table top at loop.You could also use a clipboard. Pull both 18" strands taut and tape down ends. These will become strands 2 & 3 in the diagrams below. Twirl strands 2 and 3 together at the ends with a little white glue to stiffen. Let dry.
