WARNING - Big File.
This is a tutorial for wrapping a katana handle.
I used this method, for my Bleach Cosplay, seen here. [link]
If anyone uses it, I would love it if you could link me.
Any questions or comments, you can either leave me a comment, or send me a note.
I hope this tut helps people out there!

I used it on my Display Wakizashi.
Doesn't look as clean i must admit, but it fits the hand far better.

It's nice seeing people put up tutorials (it's actually the nicest thing an artist can possibly do).
You do however realize, that this is not the traditionally correct way of wrapping the handle (tsuka)?
I don't wanna appear flaming or anything, I'd just have to point it out. If your aim is a traditional look, search for other tutorials around (there are lots) that show the correct (and in my opinion more beautiful) way of wrapping the tsuka.

Wow!!!! It was a damn useful tutorial and easy to learn!! 
Your tutorial was the first I found while I was searching how to "ribbonize" my Katana handle. It took me about 5 minute to get the trick and in 45 minutes my handle was completed.
Soon I'll upload the pictures, because I still need to finish the blade.
