"Hi, I am Candi Cane-Canncel with Expert Village; just keeping going all the way around. Okay, and when you get to the end pull it through. You just want to line them up. Take out your safety pin. You are going to tie a knot. Go ahead and tie a double knot because you want these to be secure. And a really good idea is after you have done your double knot, go ahead and put a little hot glue in there just to make sure it is not going to unravel. Because it is such a pain when your little laces get lost and unraveled and get lost inside the casing and you have to do the whole thing again. Then just trim off the little edges. And come over to your other button hole and using a scissor or sewing needle or even like a knitting needle, you just want to pull out the other side. Kind of even it out. And then go ahead and make another knot here. Do a double knot as well. Let me try that again. Go ahead and trim the little edge. And you have a perfectly fun little draw string bag to hold your shoes or any other valuables you have."
