STRAP: Cut two 9-yard lengths of thread. Bring the 4 cut ends together and tie in a knot close to the ends. Have a friend hold this end or tape it to a table. Slip a pencil or crochet hook in the loop opposite the knotted end; keeping thread taut, twirl the pencil (twisting the strands) until threads are very tightly twisted. Bring loop and knotted ends together; secure to prevent untwisting. Remaining thread will form the twisted cord; smooth kinks from cord. Weave the cord through the Beading rnd of bag. Tie the cord in a knot about 5" from the ends. Cut off original knot and allow thread ends to form a tassel. Trim.
