It requires a lot of patience, not necessarily hard - I had to redo parts of it several times - trying to keep it even and symmetrical - obviously something that becomes easier with practice. I tried to do it off of the bike at first, but I think it was actually easier on the bike. The two tone blue the two roll style. There is also a four roll style that actually looks easier to do. There are videos on Youtube that show how. The real trick is learning how to make it follow curves, which i did not manage to do. It reminds me of lacing lanyards when I was in the Boy Scouts many years ago. I have a (Hunqapillar Green) Bombadil that I am putting Crust Towel Rack bars on that I intend to try the 4 roll method on. Celeste Green, Forest Green and orange - two rolls of one of the greens, and one roll of the other green and one of orange. The below is a two rolls of tan, one black roll and one white roll, obviously done by some one who has done a few. Go ahead and experiment, handlebar tape is fairly inexpensive compared to other bike parts. [image: Harlequin.JPG]
