5. As you reach the end of the first piece of fabric, apply a dab of hot glue to the rope where the fabric strip ends. This will anchor the first piece.

6. Apply a new dab of hot glue to the end of the first piece of fabric and attach a second new piece of fabric to that. Continue to wrap the fabric around until you get to the end and secure with hot glue.

7. Continue adding pieces of fabric strips until you have covered a 5- to 6-foot piece of rope. Cut the end of the rope with scissors. Coat the end with hot glue. Let dry.
