Read directions one by one following each rule as you go.

1. Choose one piece of string; tie end to any nail.

2. Choose a nail non-adjacent to current wrapped nail.
*(non-adjacent= nail must be greater than or equal to 2 nails away in all directions from current wrapped nail).

3. Keeping the string taut, wrap a point on the string once around any height on the chosen nail.

4. Repeat steps (2-3) choosing a new nail and a new height, wrapping until approximately one-inch remains on string.
*(new nail/height= any nail/height that is different from the previous nail/height)

5. Tie one-inch end of string off around final nail.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 if time remains with new string.
