At the end of October, and Starting in November, is the time many people start weaving ornaments for the Winter Ceremonies. This small project is a great gift and fund raiser for the season.
Start with 2 pieces of 1/4" width cedar bark - 16" long, and 3 pieces (for the legs and tail) 10" short.
Essentially you are braiding, starting with the tail.
Starts out as a 7 strand braid for the body, a 5 strand for the neck, 3 strand for the head, and 4 strand for the antlers.
