Do some searches. A section of Mtn bike inner tube does a nice job too.

One of the members of the Howard Hill Longbowmen did a nice buildalong of finishing a Hill blank and it is posted on the Howard Hill Longbowmen site.  It includes a nice series of shots of putting the wrap on.    Here's a link:

If you are talking about a leather handle wrap, then I would take a paper sack or paper and make a pattern where the open ends are out front on the back of the handle. Now you have a pattern to cut your leather handle. Now you need a leather needle and some sinue or waxed bow string and lace up the leather on the back of the bow. Before tighting the string, put some glue(leather glue) on the inside of the leather. Ken

3 rivers has a video on their web site how to put one on

I use leather lace and actually wrap the handle, and find that the "grooves" between the lace give my hand a reference point.

Here is a link to a post I made with pictures:
