Wrap a bundle of cores


This can also be called a gathering wrap. It is used to begin projects, and have a clean finish to them.




To wrap a bundle of cores, form a loop and place it parallel with the cords, with the end of the wrapping cord at the bottom. Wrap from the bottom up. When you have the wrap the desired length, put the working end of the cord in the loop first formed. Pull the bottom end of the wrapping cord so the loop and working end are pulled under the wrapping. Trim the ends.
