Try to make the ribbons have an equal amount of slack, though. Repeat step 5 on all the other blocks. Remember: keep some slack in each ribbon before you nail it down. When you are done with the last one, trim off the excess ribbon. Just hold up one end block and flip it back and forth and you will see the others cascading down.

I just made two of these for my nephew and niece. I would like to add this alternative way of attaching the ribbons. I was having trouble getting the slack even on the ribbons, so I measured out and marked the ribbon first. That way the slack is more uniform from piece to piece. Great Instructable though! Reply 3 years ago. Great instructions. And fyi. S4S means surfaced on four sides. S2S would be surfaced on two sides.

So clean on two and rough on the other two. It would be really cool to make one of these that is very, very long. I wonder if it would behave as a smaller one does. Perhaps I'll make one this summer when I have a bit more free time. If I remember, I will post pictures Reply 11 years ago on Introduction. Reply 6 years ago. I did it! The weight of the ladder puts too much tension on the ribbon and it won't work anymore. Could work with light weight material, though. Thank you for such great instructable!

I love the part where you say to be careful about over-tightening. I can totally relate! Thanks again! I'm going to puzzle my "math class" kids a group of ten yr olds by asking them to look at a wooden one, play with it, and then construct one using the random materials I've provided which will include heavy cardboard, staples, and ribbon, though I'll probably throw in some toilet paper tubes, glue sticks, and other random items to distract them.

Looking forward to it! Seems like those materials should work.
