Tying Instructions: Wrap tying thread around needle and then tie tails (2 hairs) on needle. Cut foam strip about 3 mm wide at ends and 2 mm wide in the middle. Kind of bowtie shaped. Fold tails back over needle. Press foam over needle and pull tails back through so they stick out. Slide foam right down to the tip of the hook wrap thread right up to the foam and then fold the foam forward (toward the eye.) Now wrap the thread around the foam to create an abdominal segment of about 3/16". Wrap thread forward on the needle about one segment and wrap around foam to create a second segment. Continue to wrap forward until you have created 6 segments.
