- Metal tips (found in the button department)
- Glue
(optional)
Step 1: If your favorite button has 2 holes, thread both ends of the cord up through 1 hole and down through the other.
Step 2: If the button has 4
holes, thread 1 end up through 1 hole and down through the other. Then
thread the other end of the cord up and down through the hole alongside
the first.
Step 3: Glue the metal tips to the ends of the cords, or just tie a knot at each end. Then take your bolo tie two-stepping!
