This is how I do a high/neat wrap.

The key elements are:

You want to only keep track of what touches your body- forget about the ends. If you focus on the full 5 or 6 yards of fabric you’ll go nuts.

Keep track of the “top” and “bottom” of the wrap so that you can keep it straight.

Cross the back high up between your shoulderblades.

And cross the front where you want baby’s butt to be. If you’re using a stretchy wrap you want to take into consideration the stretchiness of the fabric and make the front “x” higher for a stretchy and exactly where you want baby’s bum for a non-stretchy wrap.
