Braids
With color A, cut 3 strands about 5” (12.5 cm) long. Holding all 3 strands together, tie a knot at one end. Braid all 3 strands together and secure braid with a knot. Fold braid in half and tie together. Turning case over to the back, use your hook to pull braid through the back thickness. Braid should come out the back at desired point, fold over the top and reach to the front. Sew button to case at the point where the braid reaches farthest.
