3. Run a double thread through the middle of each side, draw tight and tie off.

Could someone please post a picture or link to a picture? I am having a hard time visualizing these, so steps 2 - 4 are confusing to me. Thanks!

I've been looking for the directions for a long time, too, I have 2 of these snowflakes on my porch right now and I love them! This is a wonderful way to reuse these things so they don't end up in the landfill, and at the same time have fun and make something useful.
