Make 2
Chain 75, cut end and pull the yarn through the last stitch,
leaving the ends long enough to make a tassel type
decoration with them.
(just loop the ends around and then through themselves.)

Weave the String through the bag in the same manner
as the famous Booga Bag.
Fasten the ends together as you please.  Make a fake tassel or not!
