"Now that we've been working our way around, you can see that you can see little bits of the rubber band, in between here, and this is really not what we want. We want to cover up everything that's underneath, you don't want to see any of that. All you have to do, to correct this problem, is just take, and give yourself some leeway, just take your yarns and push them. You're just going to pull the rubber band and just pull it all the way. The tighter you pull it, you're going to get that curve but since we're just trying to do a cover up, you're just going to spread it out and you see not as much of the rubber band is covered, now that you've got it pushed together. This is what we're looking for. You just really want to keep this all the way covered, so you can accomplish a nice concealer, over this rubber band so you can create something that's new and stylish, with a little bit of effort and it's something that's really unique and really easy to do. You just keep working all the way around and, as you work, as you go under and pull your yarns up, after each individual one, just go ahead and take it and push it to the side. When you check your work, as you go along, you don't have to pull it out so dramatically. You can just keep going and keep pulling it and you'll see that it stays covered up. You're going to do about forty to fifty of these, to cover up your standard rubber band. When you get to the end, we'll show you how to close it up and get a nice a little hair tie, out of a plain old rubber band and some yarn."
