2. Sew the strip in halfand then cut in about halfinch sections ~ I sewedmine with a serger butany machine will do ~

3. Tea dye and let dry in thesun ~When dry kind of scrunch itin your hands to makeit all tattered ~

4. Gather either by handor on a machine ~ I useda gathering foot so itlooks pleated but doesn't have to be ~
