What do you do if there is a cincture that is too long for someone? It drags on the floor! It’s already folded twice and tied so it can’t be folded again. I can’t cut it because there are tassels on each end. PLEASE HELP ME SOON!
 
My normal cincture is a 14’ long version. First, I fold it in half, then make a loop in the folded end which I pass the free ends through after girding my loins with it. I pull the free ends through until they are tight and move the knot to the center near my navel. Next, I take one free end, bring it up to my left side, pass it under the cincture, make a knot, and let the remainder hang below this knot. It hands to just above my ankle. Then I repeat the process for the right side. This allows for two loops which, if I were a priest, I would pass the ends of my stole through.
 
I am the mom of altar servers, and I recognize this description. I know that the shorter servers are able to make the loops larger so that the cincture doesnt’ touch the floor.

The trick is, can you follow these written instructions without a picture to help? 😃
