Seaming the side
Fold the rectangle so the wrong side is facing you. Thread the tail onto a tapestry needle and begin to whipstitch across. Make sure you are inserting your needle through the foundation chain as well as the back loop of each st in the last row.
Flip your bauble cover around so the right side is now on the outside.
Cinching the ends
Insert your bauble into the cover. Thread a long piece of yarn onto a tapestry needle and begin to weave your needle in and out around the bottom of the cover. Pull the end to cinch it closed and secure the ends.
Repeat for the top of the cover.
