(note: Cut equal number x’s and o’s, if you would like to make a chain like we’ve made.)

Step 5. Once you have cut the X’s and O’s, it is time to interlock them.

To do so, slip the X, into the inner ring of the O

The fold of the x will be inside the inner circle area and the outer point of the x will go into the next inner circle. Tape or staple the open leg of the x, in the inner circle.
