Learn how to install grommets here.
Turn the project inside out. Align the grommets. Hand stitch the bottom together (I used the mattress stitch). Turn project right side out now.
It’s time to seal off the bottom grommet holes. Taking the white yarn and yarn needle, start from the bottom and stitch up so the corner now looks like a triangle.
Take 80” of rope or your desired length and start by pulling it through one of the bottom grommets. Then pull it through the top grommets in a circle form. And back through the bottom grommets again. Knot the rope together. Repeat on other side.
You have just finished your new bag!
