Handlebar barwrap/grips - whipping and shellac covering

Step 3 Start applying the twine

First, take the end of the twine and fold over the end. The bend points in the direction you're going to be wrapping towards. In this case we're going to start wrapping on the handlebar where the tape ends, and up over and covering the tape. If you try to wrap from a larger to smaller circumference, the thread will separate and look pulled apart.

(Make sure that you measure how far you'll need to go to cover all the tape on both sides! If you have a little more tape to cover on one side than the other, you want to make sure that you wrap each side the longer measurement so they look even when you're finished.)
