Instructions
STEP ONE
Gather all supplies. Remove jumbo rainbow-colored craft sticks and the hook and loop fastener dots from their packaging. You will need two sets of hook and loop fastener tabs for each craft stick.
STEP TWO
Peel the hook (scratchy) fastener tab from the backing paper and apply to one end of the craft stick. Flip the craft stick over, peel the loop (soft) fastener tab from the backing paper and apply to the opposite side of the craft stick.
STEP THREE
Repeat the above step with the opposite end of the craft stick making sure to reverse the application. Each side of the craft stick should have one hook and one loop fastener tab. Each end of the craft stick should have one hook and one loop fastener tab.
STEP FOUR
Continue attaching the hook and loop fastener tabs to the rainbow-colored craft sticks until each one has two hook fastener tabs and two loop fastener tabs. These fastener tabs are self-adhesive which makes this craft quick and easy to complete.
