STEP 1. Start with any Small Scrap.

Pick a scrap of any size. The braided technique is going to start to work best when you have a triangle shape.

STEP 2. Add a second Scrap to one side of the first.

Find a straight edge on your first scrap and add a second piece of fabric, right sides together.

STEP 3. Press units.

Each time you add a new scrap make sure to press your unit with an iron before adding the next scrap.

STEP 4. Trim unit.

Trim this two piece scrap unit so that it has straight sides again.
