I didn't take pictures of the wrapping part but it wasn't complicated. I bought 100% cotton clothesline cord that was 3/16 inch. I cut my fabric strips one inch wide, no need to be exact. Then I started wrapping at an angle....gluing at the start of a strip and every 5 inches or so. I only wrapped a couple feet at a time. Then sewed around and around and around and......!
I sewed with a wide zig-zag stitch. (4.5 width and 2.5 length on my machine)
To make the sides, I just tipped the piece up like this:
And there it is all finished and filled with pretty goodies for my friend. Can you see guess the color theme of her gift? Hee, hee.
I have lots more cord so will definitely be making myself one.
