Tear off end so main bit is 3 times the size (width) of the peice of blasa wood you want to use.
Open up paper, place the peice of balsa in the centre, fold paper over, then again but only the width of the balsa.

You should end up with it looking like this.
Fold over side,then other side
Now you are ready to wrap.Collect pig in question and comb/brush in usual manner remembering parting.
TIP: Alternate the centre parting so its not always in the centre of pig, this helps to avoid coat breakage in the middle, so if it does break while the coat is off centre, on show days when it is put back in middle any breakages will hopefully be hidden.
My Longhaireds parting is usually off centre, i keep it to one side of the centre for a few days, then put it on the other side of the centre, i sometimes put it back in the centre but only leave it there for 1 day then the next day it goes back to another side.
Run your hands along sides of pig as if to do a pony tail place hair onto wrap with balsa end towards pig not pushing to hard against pig. Then fold one side in then the other,starting from bottom roll wrap up and secure with rubber band.
Once the sides are long enough wrap them in the same way as the back.
NOTE: When hair is longer consatina rather than roll otherwise you will get kinky hair
Bingley - the finished look.
I use the kitchen paper when pig is just starting to be wrapped but when its got longer i use material wraps which i make by making different sizes depending on width and length i need and at the top fold over top and stitch so balsa can be slid in from either end, when dirty they can be washed and reused.
