Step 3: Tape the strips down to the surface to prevent movement.
Step 4: Take the second color strips and weave them under and over the first color to make a checkered pattern.
Step 5: Repeat this pattern for the remaining color strips, alternating each strip.
Bonus: Be sure to press the strips to the tape.
Step 5: Remove the tape and arrange the strips so they form a tight weave pattern. Fill in with additional strips.
