How to Assemble

1. Use the included, already knotted ribbon or any other interesting-looking string. If you use your own string, make sure it will not bleed its color onto the strip or print. If you choose to shorten the ribbon, burn the end with a lighter so that it will not fray.

3. Begin with the top of the print. Separate one pair of strips. Place the top of the print over one of the separated strips. Then place the second separated strip onto the print, aligned with the bottom. The magnets may pull strongly, causing the top half to snap into place. The print is now secured between the two formerly separated strips.

4. Repeat this with the second pair, placing this set on the bottom of the print.

5. At the top of the print, slide one end of the ribbon between the back of the print and the bottom half that pair of strips. Make sure that the ribbon is on the outside of the magnet. This will prevent the knotted string from sliding towards the middle.

6. Repeat this with the other end of the ribbon on the far side of the print.
