Cut on each of these 2" lines up to the centre line. Cut away the 1" piece from each end. See Photo 1. 5. Use the Fabric Folding pen and mark a 45⁰ line on each 2" piece.

The strip will have points on either side. 7. Fold the strip in half lengthwise. You now have a 8" to 9" strip of Prairie Points. 8. Repeat with the second 4" x 10" strip. finishing the straps 1.
