Q&A for How to Do String Figures

After getting into your starting position, take your left-hand index finger and twist, then pull through to original position. Then do the same with other hand but don't twist. Lastly, take the string off of the pinky and thumb on your left hand.

1. Start out with Opening A. 2. Go over the index string and then under the middle string. 3. Pull back. 4. There are two loops on each thumb. Take off the bottom loops on each thumb. 5. Let the pinkie strings go. 6. You have a cup and saucer.

Start with the Navajo opening, and then grab the string hanging off your pinky with your mouth.

You need high-quality, strong white string. Dollar store string works best!
