Making aloop on a whistle

Having a loop on or a whistle is handy so you can hang it from your belt or stick.

A leather cord wraps around this whistle. This style is a simple method of attaching a hoop for the whistle. To do it, you lay a loop lengthwise on the whistle, then lay another loop in the opposite direction. You start wraping around the first loop and slip the end of the cord through the end of the loop. Now, you pull on the opposite side loop which pulls the end of the cord snuggly under the wrap. A touch of glue keeps it tucked in. It takes a bit of practice to get the tension of the wrap just right to be able to pull the loop back. But, when done right, it is a good looking solution.
