For any toe tying, I use either a shoe lace or a length of string. For tying the big toes together, I tie them as I would ankles by looping around the cinching it off.
To encase all of the toes in "rope", I do this: start on the big toe of one foot. Loop around that. Now you are going to work your way down to the baby/pinky toe by rotating between going over/under the toe. So, coming form the big toe, you would go under the next toe, then over the middle toe, and so on. Once you reach the pinky toe, just head back up the line, but now where you may have went over on the way down, it will be under on the way up, and vice versa. Do this to both feet and all toes are tied. I tend to combine this with the big toes together tie.
Also, I feel this belongs in the TUGs Talk forum
