Note: I chose to sc in each of the chains but you dont have to do this. My girls yank on the pull ties all the time and I wanted them more stable.

The girl version includes the straps and pull ties. The boys version has just the strap and the Adult version has neither. The adult version is a candy bowl. Reinforce it with a piece of plastic canvas that is 6 in x 21 in
