Cut a piece of cardboard 4" x
4" and wrap it with wax paper. Slide it inside the pouch so
the glue won't seep through. For this project, the drawstring on the
pouch is only used to string the beads. The pouch will lay flat as shown
as with the top folded down 1-1/2".
Cut a piece of braided cord to 36".
Use fabric glue (other glues will not provide good results) to attach
the ends under the flap near the fold. The glue will soak though to the
back so make you have your cardboard and wax paper inside. Use the
remaining cord decorate the outside, Encourage the children to make
their own designs. If you decorate the flap, like we did, you will need
to put at least wax paper inside. Let dry, remove cardboard.
String beads on the drawstring ends, tying
on the last bead to hold it in place.
