2. Pick up two corners situated diagonally from each other. Tie the corners together tightly. You will see that you have two “bunny ears”.

3. Hide the “ears” by tucking them under the knot.

4. Repeat the process with the two remaining corners, and tie tightly.

5. You’re done! That wasn’t so hard, was it?
