LACE LEGEND TIP: Color your Solid Lace BLUE and your Striped Lace YELLOW! This makes following the "Bridge" and "Tree" steps super easy!
1
Make a Bridge
Cross the laces to make a big "X". Tuck one lace under the bottom of the "X" (going "under the bridge"). Pull both laces tight to form a flat base.
BRIDGE

I Did It!
2
Make a Tree
Take one lace and fold it in half. Pinch the base near the shoe to create a single vertical loop. Hold it steady—this loop is your "tree".
TREE
Color the box!
I Did It!
3
Go Around the Tree
Grab the other lace (the loose "bunny" string). Wrap it completely around the base of your standing "tree" loop.
Color the box!

4
Go Through the Hole
Find the small "bunny hole" at the bottom. Push the middle of the loose string through (head first!) to make a second loop, not the tip (tail first).

5
Pull!
Pinch both loops firmly in your fingers. Pull them sideways in opposite directions until your knot is super tight, flat, and secure.
