To Make Bag

 

To make bag:

1. Take long rope and thread it through the loops on the first row of netting...
  
  
...along one side of netting...
  
  
... across the last row of netting ...
  
  
...and up the other side of netting forming a circle.
  
  
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.
  
  
5. Heat the heat-shrink tubing until it shrinks tightly around the rope. Then slide the rope through the loops until it forms the circular opening of the bag.

Finally, put the handles onto one arm and gently pull the bottom of the bag.
