"POOJA JAIN: Hi. This is Pooja from Valaya FNP today on behalf of Expert Village. This is the green jute fiber. The jute basically comes in a natural color; it is off-white in color, and again this was dyed in various colors. Because I needed green which is my main base, we would be just spreading out the jute fiber here. Jute fiber helps us in covering the oasis. It is basically a camouflage look which needs to be given to the oasis or it is a sponge which is not good if it showing. Therefore, we are just covering it up with the oasis. I just inserted it on the sides, and then I would be covering it on the front part as well. So if you could just take the close shot of this, you could see that there is no sponge available now. No sponge seen which is a bad visual when you make the arrangement. There is a certain gap which is left between the oasis and the glass was, so I am just inserting it in. I need something which is sharp, something which is really thin, to just tuck it in inside and tuck it in. The jute fiber is just taken in flat layers; the thinner the layer, the better it is because it is easier for the jute to go in."
