so much for your support!
Let's begin by drawing a 9" round template on parchment paper.
Leave the rope on the roll and begin by hot gluing the rope end onto itself and begin coiling the rope.
Continue adding hot glue on the side of the rope as you coil . . .
round and round until reaching the drawn circle edge. Cut the end of the rope at an angle using scissors and . . .
hot glue the end in place.
Repeat making another rope circle the same size.
The attached self adhesive felt will be the lining of the bag.
Next, measure around the coiled rope to determine how much self adhesive felt to cut for the middle side. (17")
Then cut out a piece 17"x3.5" long and wide. Because the manila rope is so stiff, I will use twine to cover the self adhesive felt for the middle side of the bag.
Once the twine reaches the end of the felt, make extended loops around the ends to attach the shoulder straps.
Then attach the middle of the bag to the edge of the rope circles using hot glue. First one side and . . .
then the other side.
To make the shoulder strap, I cut off nine 60" lengths of twine to braid.
Then wrapped each end around the bar on the swivel hooks (which I removed from an old bag)and wrapped the ends with twine and sealed with hot glue.
Use a heavy duty wide eye needle and twine to . . .
Then braid a three strand twine strip into a loop to . . .
attach to the back of the bag.
And there you have it!
