Bridle: this is the loop of string that connects the the frame to the main control line.

Overhand knot: You're probably familiar with this knot. It's the first half of the knot for your shoelaces, before you make the loops. A double overhand knot is that first step repeated on top of itself. The result is a fairly secure, difficult-to-untie knot.

First you'll make some notches on the two ends of one straw. This piece will be the center bar of the H-shaped frame. Carefully make one-inch cuts down the center of the ends of the straw. Now cut halfway across the straw at the bottomof each vertical cut.Half of the straw falls away and the other half remains. The result is a straw with notched ends.     Wrap the notched ends around the midpoints of the two vertical plastic straws. Secure this connection with tape.   Run the string through all four open ends of the straws. This will create a square. Tie an overhand knot and then a second one on top of the first one.
