Step 1:

You will need

• 1 pair of shoes with laces
• 1 pair of hands

Step 2:

Make the tying knot

Lay one lace over the top of the shoe and cross the other over it. Tuck the top lace under, and around the bottom one and pull both laces firmly at the ends to secure the tying knot.

Step 3:

Make the loop

Next, with your writing hand, make a loop with the opposite lace.

Wrap and tuck

Wrap the other lace all the way around the top side of the loop and tuck it back through itself. You should end with 1 large loop and the beginning of a second.
