4. Grab some rubber bands and bunch the top together and tie the band around the top. 

You can even use hair ties. I couldn’t find my rubber bands so I took the stash of hair ties that my daughters had. When I started I tried basting the top, well that didn’t work out. I hand stitched it and the tread ripped, I should have used my sewing machine. You can do that if you want to, but tying it is such a quick way to get the same job done!
