Start with the lace tips at the bottom eyelets
Thread both ends through the first row from the outside in
Make sure the lace lengths are even
Cross the laces over each other
Thread each lace through the next eyelet up on the opposite side
Repeat the crisscross pattern to the top
Keep the tension even on both sides
Adjust the tightness as you go
Leave the top eyelets open if you want a looser look
Tie a standard bow at the top
Tuck the bow behind the tongue if desired
