The next loop we're going to do is a perfection loop. It's a little bit harder to tie but it's a nicer loop and it comes out a lot smoother when you're finished with it. What you want to do is start off, you make one loop like so, then you make another loop behind that loop, then you take your tag in between the two loops. Okay, so then you're going to pull the second loop through the first loop and it ends out like that. Looks a lot nicer when I'm not on film but that's a good way to get an illustration of it. A little bit trickier but once you get it done that first time, pretty easy to do it. Let's try that again. See, we're making the first loop, the second loop behind it, pull the tag between the two loops, pull the second loop through the first loop, perfection.
