Making a Mandala - Stept by Step 1

Wanted to share with you a video I made showing the step by step on how to make an 8 sided Mandala of 3 millimeters. I'll be publishing the step by step in 3 entries due to the duration of the video.

In this Video you'll see how I weave the center of one 4 sided figure that will end up being a diamond shape. Once I finish the centers of both 4 sided figures, we should set them together passing through the yarn in each of the 8 sides.
This part is one of the most difficult ones, so be patient and take all the time you need because both figures will move. When you do it, the same should be sturdy and with the sides equidistant from each other. Is not an easy job, but with practice each time will become better and much easier.

We continue with the process of setting together the two 4 sided figures. Remember to always leave the knots of the color changes in the back side of the Mandala, as we should avoid leaving them easy to the sight.

And now we get started doing "The Star"! We begin weaving by passing through the yarn in one end and going to the next one by leaving 2 consecutive ends without weaving and passing through the back the yarn. This means that will be weaving on the third end. 

We continue doing this process until we get to the size of our choice for the star.

Hope you like it!
