Step1

Open your right hand, palm facing up and hold one end of your cord.

Step2

Measure out about 18 inches - 2 ft of cord and hold in your left hand, palm down. With your first finger and thumb, roll the cord slightly towards you as you bring your hands together forming a loop.

Step3

Measure out another 18 inches - 2 ft of cord with your left hand. Turn your palm up, grab cord and bring hands together by twisting your left hand in a clockwise motion. This is the tricky part.

Repeat process starting at Step 2 (left hand palm down). Alternate with Step 3 until the cord is coiled.
