braided loops

divide in quarters. band the parts you are not using. french braid from the bottom up to the half way point and from the front back on the top. when you get to the center, join the braid sections and continue braiding. i braided a little farther than i needed and had my daughter hold it til i was ready to braid them together. then i twisted the braid around, wove the end up through at the base and banded it it hold it. held up great to sports and school
