Where are the diagrams?
Here they are. Sorry they were blocked when we updated the site. Thank you for letting me know.
How wide do you cut the strips?
The contributor didn’t specify but I would guess an inch. Try it out and adjust if it isn’t to your liking.
you can also go corner over corner & it will be round instead of a square’
