She is greatly pleased with her pretty grass costume.
Divide the grass into bunches, each bunch about as thick as your thumb, and have the heads of all the grasses together at one end of the bunch, and the stem ends together at the other end.
Fig.70 - Use a strong string for tying the grass fringe.
Tie a strong string around the stem ends of one bunch. Hold this tied bunch under your left arm, stem ends to the front, and take up another bunch ([Fig. 70]). Bring the long end of the string across the front of the second bunch and form a loop (A, [Fig. 67]). Hold the loop while you pass the string around the back of the bunch ([Fig. 68]), then slide the end through the loop A, [Fig. 69]. Draw this loop-fastening very tight and it will hold. Now place the second bunch under your arm with the first bunch, and make a loop-fastening around the third bunch. Keep on adding bunches of grass in this way, always drawing the last bunch close to the one before it, and holding them all together under your arm as in the photograph ([Fig. 70]). In this picture the grass bunches are purposely left far apart that you may see exactly how to make the fringe.
