8.- Make a knot as small

as posible by pulling the ends of each ring apart

9.- Make two more pieces like this

10.- Hold the ends together by using duct tape and also to create a handle

11.- Join the three pieces by plaiting them (by putting them over each other like a ponytail), being
careful letting the air out off. So the plaits are tight.

12.- Add another plastic ring to each end.

13.- Continue lengthening the jump rope as long as you want by adding and plaiting plastic rings.
