I must have written out these instructions after having a successful lesson with
one class, because my memory of teaching this lesson, (making a very small tiny little pouch), was one of frustration and a realization that this project was not meant to be taught in a large class room.
The many ends that need to be worked in...
I decided to braid strands of the off-white hemp fibers for the pull ties--here they're woven into the bag, and all the tail ends are worked in...
I've slipped the loops off the spikes at the top edge on either side, now for the best part...to shimmy the bag off the board and turn it right side out!
I've already started a new one.

flashy!
so cool! i'll have to do these with ceci's crafts class. did i tell you that i'm teaching at her house afterschool on wednesdays, starting in march?
Yes! Have fun! and I think this project could be done with a small amount of children, but make one first to test the waters!
I did a similar project with fifth and sixth graders about three years ago. They were a large class and not all projects got finished as I was only in the class for a half day, but they did enjoy the experience, particularly the boys. Can you believe it?
These directions don't cover getting around the bottom of the bag and on up the back side. This would be helpful.
