How to Wind a Spinning Top
- 1). Hold the top with the point down in your left hand.
- 2). Press the knot at the end of your string against the middle or thickest portion of the top with your left thumb.
- 3). Loop the string around the cap of the top from right to left.
- 4). Bring the string back down across the top of the string held by your thumb just above the knot.
- 5). Turn the top point side up, while holding the knot under your thumb.
- 6). Pull the string up to the shoulder to the spinning tip. Wind the string tightly from left to right.
- 7). Wind the string in a single, continuous spiraled layer back up the body toward the middle or thickest portion of the top.
- 8). Place the end of the string between the second and third fingers of your right. Continue to wind until the button rests securely against the back of both fingers.
