Find someone who can pull the string, such as the armrest of a chair, or a friend who can pull it open with both hands. Tie a rope to the drawstring, leaving a distance where it can slide, and tie a knot. Tie the number of ropes according to the size required, just make sure the size is suitable.

Braid to a sufficient length and close the bottom, which is the ordinary knotting method.
