Tape both
ends of a 24" piece of raffia to your work surface. Cut raffia into
8" lengths. Fold each piece in half and half hitch to the taped
raffia by placing the folded end down behind the taped raffia and
drawing the cord ends through the folded end loop. Pull snug. Diagram at
right shows how a half hitch looks.
Continue half hitching cut pieces until you have enough to go all around
the can hugger. Remove tape. Tie in place around the middle of the hugger.
Trim ends and bottom. Glue on tropical foamies.
