One thing I quickly learned when making it--insert the sisal rope from the OUTSIDE of the chip container, pull it through the bottom, tie a knot. Don't try to insert the sisal rope from the inside of the tube or you'll be extremely frustrated.

Takes me awhile to figure stuff out but I eventually do. You should have seen me trying to get my big ole hands up inside that potato chip container!
