These cards are its paper version: the same content, printable, for those who prefer a sheet next to the worktop to a screen, and for those who want to <strong>support the blog</strong> with $6.</p> <p><strong>What&rsquo;s inside (21 pages, A4, prints fine on US Letter):</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>The seven habits</strong> of a beautiful braid, and a bit of history.</li> <li><strong>Nine braids, one page each</strong>: 3 strands (classic and from the middle), the twist, 4 strands (classic and flat), 5 strands, 6 strands (classic and flat), 8 strands. On each card: the mantra to say out loud, and one thumbnail per move showing the expected result with numbered strands.</li> <li><strong>Eleven festive shapes</strong>: round spiral challah, woven round, crown, knotted rolls, Torah scroll, wheat sheaf, key challah, apple, pomegranate, ladder, two-tier braid. Each with its drawn steps, tips and rising time.</li> <li><strong>The calendar</strong> of shapes by holiday, and <strong>troubleshooting</strong> (a braid that opens up, shrinking strands, one egg wash or two…).</li> </ul> <p>The cards are generated from the same animations as the guide: when a new braid is added to the guide, you get the new version for free.</p>
