Take one – lie bag down on table front facing you, anchor one end of a cord to the right grommet, take other end up and in the right top opening then all the way around (out the left end and in the other side’s end that is right next to it, then through that and out forming a bog loop) then back down to bottom Thread both ends back to front through grommet and tie a couple big knots. Repeat on the other side going in from the left forming a loop going in the opposite direction then down and through the grommet back to front, tie off..

This way when finished, you can pull the double cords on left and right outwardly away from each other and it will gather the top like elastic and you can pull it apart to open it…

Before I tie off cords at the grommets, I am also threading the double cords on each side through sleeves (tunnel shaped) made from matching fabric that are the same length of the bag, because it will have double cords and this is for a young child

Thanks!

I really appreciate your detailed instructions!
