Place cloth A on top of cloth B so the right sides are facing out with the edges aligned. Temporarily hold in place with pins. Fold the strips of binding around the edges and sew them in this order (a)-(b), (b)-(c), (c)-(d) and (d)-(a). At the start of each strip of binding, fold 2cm under for a neat corner. See diagram in circle for how to sew the corner at "a".

When sewing first strip of binding from (a)-(b), don't sew the corner at (a). Start about 5cm from the corner and continue. After the last strip (d)-(a) has been sewn to the end, fold first strip of binding back 2cm at (a) and sew on top as pictured.

Cut two 50 cm x 5 cm from both pieces of cloth (for a total of 4) and attach to Create-a-strap pieces.
*For detailed information check the Create-a-Strap guide.

Use the following diagram as a guide when attaching the handles.
Use an Erasable Marker to mark a rough place for each handle, and stitch in place at the four □ to complete them.
It will be helpful to baste the ends of the straps in place as they were too thick to pin.
