Let me show you how to create the beautiful 7-strand braid you have been wanting to make!

It takes a little practice but is much easier than you might think. A full video is on the link below.  

I find it easiest to label 1-7. Take strand 7, far-right, and cross it over 6.

1.

Take the 2 strips to the left of this and cross those over the one to their right. 1.2.3.7.4.5.6.

2.

Take the strand furthest to the right (#1), and braid it over (#2). 2.1.3.7.4.5.6.

3.

Take strands 3&4 and cross them over 1. 2.3.7.1.4.5.6.

4.

Start the process over again on the right-hand side.

5.

It will take some time getting used to, but you will get it!

5.

Once you finish, pinch both ends and tuck them under.

While braiding a 7-strand braid isn't the easiest braid, it really is one of the prettiest! Once you get the hang of it, you will want to do it over and over!
