TOP
In Lt. Brown, ch 140 loosely, sl st in first st, sc in next, (3 dc in next second st, sc in next 2) around (35 shells) sl st in first sc. Fasten off.
Rnd 2: Turn, in Orange in back loops, sc in center dc of 1 shell, (hdc in next, a long dc over next sc, inserting hook at base of sc, hdc in next dc, sc in next) around. Sl st in first sc.
Rnd 3: Ch 3, turn, dc in sl st, (sc in next long dc, 3 dc in next second st) around. End with 1 dc, sl st in 3-ch.
Repeat Rnds 2 and 3 in Yellow, twice in Green, and once in Lt. Brown, Orange and Yellow.

Repeat entire piece and sew last rows together through 1 loop of each st, exactly matching pattern.
TOP EDGE

Press on inside of band. Cut cardboard slightly smaller than Base. Cut lining 1/2" larger, turn edge over on back and fasten with glue. Sew on back of Base.
Cut lining to fit inside of bag, sew ends together, and sew one edge to edge of Base lining. Cut Buckram 3" wide and 2" longer than around inside of Top. Lap ends and tack inside Top 1/4" from bottom edge. Sew Top to Base. Hem lining down 1 1/2" from top. Mark top of lining at Center of each end and at 2 equally spaced points on each side and sew 6 rings inside bag.
(If buckram is not available for lining, a satisfactory substitute can be made at home—a piece of fairly heavy cloth, duck, muslin or flour sacking will do. Make slightly larger than needed and dip in thick hot starch. When dry apply one or two coats shellac on both sides. Allow to dry. Trim to size and fasten to top.)
TIES
For one tie, cut 1 strand each Yellow and Brown 4 yards long, (fold the strand double and holding the folded end, twist tightly. Make another tie the same.
