PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for attaching a fixing member to a wire harness which allows the fixing member to be securely attached even to a small diameter portion of the wire harness with a simple structure which does not need costs and labor for handling.SOLUTION: In a method for attaching a fixing member to a wire harness, a band clamp 1 comprising a vehicle body engagement part 2, a base part 3 connected with the vehicle body engagement part 2, and a band part 4 which is connected with the base part 3 and may be wound around a wire harness W is attached to the wire harness W. The wire harness W is folded multiple times to partially form a large diameter part W1 where multiple portions of the wire harness W overlap with each other, and the band part 4 is wound around the large diameter part W1 to be fixed thereto. 【課題】コストや管理の手間が掛からない簡単な構成で、ワイヤハーネスの小径部分でも固定部材を確実に取り付け可能とする。【解決手段】ワイヤハーネスＷに、車体係止部２と、その車体係止部２に連設された基部３と、その基部３に連設されてワイヤハーネスＷに巻き付け可能なバンド部４とからなるバンドクランプ１を取り付ける方法であって、ワイヤハーネスＷを複数回折り返してワイヤハーネスＷが複数本重なる大径部Ｗ１を部分的に形成し、その大径部Ｗ１にバンド部４を巻き付けて固定することを特徴とする。【選択図】図１
