ASSEMBLY
1. Weave to hide and cut all tail ends for the Pokeball Bag.
2. Fold a piece of legal size paper in half, and then half again. Place this insert into the bag. This will act as our protective layer as we sew the button on top of the Pokeball bag.
3. Sew the Pokeball Circle onto the bag.
4. Weave in the Cord drawstring through the windows. (See photos below)
Use one cord and weave in and out until you come all the way around back to the beginning.Make the ends even. Tie a knot to secure the ends. Sew the end loops together as well.
5. Now do the same with the other drawstring cord but for the other side of the Pokeball bag. But you want the weaving to be opposite of the other previous cord. (For example: where the other weaves in, you will want to be weaving out.)
