First I twist them together, one tail shorter than the other; then make a knot. I keep one finger in the knot, keep twist and turn them into circle.
I tuck one under the base. The other I pull through the center hole and then over the first wrap then under the second wrap. They all stay like that. ( as you see above)
I make another a little different at the end I pull one tail halfway through the center the other I keep it lose as is.
If you can not make it stay, untwist them and start over.
But always tie a knot first to firm a center and twist and turn around that knot.
Looking forward to see your soon
