(Width* 50 = Length )

 Forming the first piece into a spiral.
Take the second piece of plastic strap 
and lay into the first (left ->right)
 under and over as shown..
Take the second strap back and weave over #2, under#1
(Front) weave A. over #1, under #2

Take the left strip back, pass over #1 loop and pass into #2 loop.
Gently pull each strip to tighten the weave.

and you're done now.

with fish woven from coconut or palm leaves.
