Custom 'Octohedral' Juggling Bags (or hacky sacks)

Step 10 Close up the bag

 Make sure you've still got the tail end of your threads sticking out to tie off to. Then, start tightening up your stitches. If you hand sewed them as instructed in the previous step, they will alternate sides for which thread to pull on to tighten the previous stitch.

As you tighten the stitches, tuck the extra material inside the bag so the seam is nice and tight and neat.

Once all of the stitches are tightened, tuck the last bit of extra fabric in and pull the needle end and the tail end of the thread tight. Then, tie the two ends together. I just used a couple of square knots and cinched them nice and tight.

Finally, thread the extra thread through your needle and poke it into the seam and back out the middle of one of your panels. Pull the thread extra tight (so the panel puckers) and then snip it off. Then, un-pucker the panel, and the threads will be buried inside the bag where they won't be visible.

You now have one juggling bag. Repeat as many times as desired.

Thanks for the heads-up. I think I've fixed it, so give it a try now.
