6 Make handles.

Make handles. Cut two 2-inch-wide strips of fabric the length you want your handles to be. Fold each strip in half so that the inside of the fabric faces outward. Sew the long edges together. Turn it right-side-out by feeding a wire from a coat hanger through the tube, attaching it end to the end of the tube (whether by hooking or tying it), and pull it back through to invert the tube. Flatten the handle with an iron.

• Alternatively, fold raw edges to the middle and zig-zag-stitch them in place (as seen in the images below).
