Tying tape around a box
using cotton or linen 
tape

3
00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:13,900
You will need to secure all boxes with cotton 
or linen tape.

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,300
Measure the length of tape you will need.

5
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:22,800
A rule of thumb is 4 times the length of 
the box.

6
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:39,900
First create the looped handle by folding 
the length of the tape in half.

7
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,400
Tie a knot in the folded tape to create the 
looped handle.

8
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,600
Unfold the tape and wrap it around the length 
of the box.

9
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,010
Tie a simple shoelace knot and bow.
