How do you do a Box Braid?

take two long or short strands of craft lace and put them in your hands. then put them in the form of an x or + sign. I prefer +. then you should have 2 short strands on each side of each color. pick one color and bring the first short strand over the left hand side of your finger. then put the other short strand over the right hand side of your finger. hold the strands down with your free finger. then stick the short strand of the other color over the opposite color that is not in front of it but the one after it..do the same for the other. once you have done that.. you should have four colors overlapping each other on each left and right side...take one of each color in each hand on each side and pull the short strands tight after you have removed your finger from the middle. continue on the project witht the following directions. If these do not work for you please go to YouTube.com and go to jbwetzel03's channel for a boxbraiding video. Thanks!
