Scoubidou ♥

Who loves to decorate their backpack with key chains?
There is a key chain that you can make yourself called Scoubidou...
Before School, I bought a new back pack.. It was black.. only black color with no decorations or anything on it! It was boring. So, I decided to decorate it myself.
I searched on it for ways to decorate it and I found many great and Amazing ways.. But Unfortunately I didn't have time.. While I was thinking what to do.. I remembered that Key Chain called Scoubidou my cousin Zeena taught me to do about three years ago..
So I did many and hung them on my bag and it became full of colors.
My friends asked me from where I bought those Scoubidous and I answered them that I've made them..
So, Here is the tutorial :

Starting Stitch 1. Find the centres of the two scooby strings and cross one over the other. 2. Pinch the cross so you have a free hand to begin the first loop. 3. Take the underneath strand (red) and flip it away from you over the other strand (blue) to create a loop. 4. Take the other end of this scoubidou (red) and flip it towards you over the blue strand to make a second loop. 5. Take the right side of the blue scoubidou and take it over the first loop then under the second (like a weave). 6. Then take the left side of the blue scooby and pass it over the loop nearest to it and under the second. 7. Try to keep the fingers on one hand pinched at the centre to secure it as it is fiddly! It should look a bit like this. 8. Grab the two left strands with your left hand and the two right strands with your right and pull very tight. 9. The stitch should look something like this when you've pull it tight. 10. If you turn the stitch over there should be a loop going from one side to the other (red in my case). And thats the starting stitch! Main Body 11. Again, take the right side of the red scooby strand and flip it away from you over the blue strand to create another loop. 12. Then take the left side and flip it towards you over the blue strand to make a second loop. 13. Take the right side of the blue scoubidou and take it over the first loop then under the second. 14. Then again, take the left side of the blue scoobidou and pass it over the loop nearest to it and under the second. 15. Grab the two left strands with your left hand and the two right strands with your right and again pull very tight. 16. Until the scooby strings are securely welded together. 17. There you have another stitch completed! 18. This is how the project should look after doing about an inch or so of stitching. 19. And this is how it should look after a lot more stitches! Completion Stitch 20. Make another square stitch however leave it loose this time. 21. Grab any one of your four strands and take it under the strand to its left then up through the centre of the loose stitch. 22. Do this with all four strands (be careful with the last one) so they are all going in the valign="top" same direction. 23. Pull the strands very tight, each one individually of you need to. 24. Until you are left with a secure knot that wont unravel! 25. Snip the strands with a pair of scissors about 1/2 an inch away from the completion knot. 26. The completed project should look like this when finished properly. Scoubidous I Made :
