Making It Strong

Due to the positioning of thumb, we need to stick the straws in a bit different way. See the above images to get a better understanding.

Put the Threads In

Now stick the threads on the top of the fingers now take the thread through the loops made by straws. Now make small loops at the end to put your fingers in
