• Only one material is required. A long piece of clothes. If you do not have that long or such strip of clothes then cut the clothes in different strip using your cutter.Following is the wasted clothes we have used.

   
• A washing tub or something similar to it.

Points to be remembered:

   
• In second steps, do not tie them all at a time.

   
• This time we will take a one at a time. First we tie a only one strip of clothe and then move toward next steps.

   
• Of course, 'YOU CAN TIE IT ON ANY SIDE', if you have tied a clothes on vertical side in first step then tie it horizontally in second steps or vice versa. (To show you how we have even taken an images after changing the side of the washing tub as shown in below images)

6. Once you tied a piece of clothe on another side, now take a another strip of clothes and place it as shown in image.

Please note that in above image unlike the first project we have change the side of the washing tub

10. Cut it from either side and tie the two ends of the clothes tightly to hold it together.
11. Finally it will look like this:

SOME IMPORTANT TO BE REMEMBERED:

   
• Tie it as tight as possible to hold it good

   
• Tie it one either side of the washing tub as you like it

   
• In first steps tie all the clothes first, but in second steps move one by one.

   
• If possible then use a long strip of clothes or else tie a small strip of clothes to make it long

   
• In second steps repeat the step with same colour of clothes for 3 to 4 times and then take a another color

This is how it is tied on the either side of the washing tub and then it is cutted with the help of cutter and tied together to hold it good.
