To Make Bag

 

To make handles:

1. Take one of the 11" or 14" ropes and thread it through the loops on the first row of netting.
  
  
2. Slip one of the pieces of shrink tubing onto the rope.
  
  
3. With candle or other heat source, melt the ends of the rope and join into a circle.
  
  
4. Move the shrink tubing over the joined ends...
 
  
  
...and heat it until it shrinks tightly around the rope.
 
  
  
Repeat those steps with the other 11" or 14" rope, threading it through the loops on the last row of netting.
