Using a ruler, mark 1/4" increments on both ends of shoe box
lid as shown. Ask an adult to cut a small notch at each mark with a serrated knife.
Tape the end of heavy thread to the back of the lid and
wrap it around to the front pushing it down into an end notch. Continue wrapping and push
it down into the notch on the opposite end. Then around bottom and up to the next notch.
Continue until you have one more thread than the number of rows in your pattern.
