bind off, leaving a long tail on both ends of the chain.
Assembly
Starting
from the inside, feed the drawstring through 7 holes. The drawstring
should now be hanging outside the bag. Thread a large bead onto the
drawstring (pref red) followed by a small bead. Thread the drawstring
back through the large bead, trapping the small bead in the loop that forms.
Thread the
drawstring through the next 7 holes. You should now have both tails
hanging inside the bag. Knot the tails securely and work away.
