first u want 2 start at the bottom of the the sleeve and go up. u can cut it 1 layer at a time or both at once. once ur done it should look like the bottom picture.

take 2 piecesof the fabric and cross the top on over the bottom one, next pull the top piece under the bottom piece, then cross the top piece back over the top piece, then under again but this time after that u push the top piece in the loop, and pull tight. repeat this once or twice more to secure it well.

Almost Done
