Figure 3. How to bind

At the figures are designated: L - Loop for fastening, B - Beginning of binding cord, End- End of binding ord, HL- Helping Loop.

After the ending of binding we pass the end of binding cord in Helping Loop and strongly pull for the beginning of binding cord. After that do melt of the Beginning and the End the binding rope, and that is all.
