Creating your bracelet is as easy as weaving the tabs onto the ribbon. The way you thread the tabs onto the ribbon is very important. Pay special attention to when you will be threading the smooth front or 'face' of the tab, and when you will be threading through the back of the tab.

This side view shows you that there are clearly two layers of tabs, 'top' tabs and 'bottom' tabs. Look at how the two 'top' tabs are held to a 'bottom' tab behind it with a 'U' shaped pattern of ribbon. It is simple weaving, but I've got a few tricks to make it even easier. Let's get started.
