Reach through with hook from outside and pull yarn through and slip st around strap end (about 4 or 5 sts), forming a pocket on outside. Continue to sc around edge of strap to other side, attach strap end in same manner. End work. Tuck in all ends.
Fringe:
Cut about 5 strands of beaded fringe on it's ribbon, apply glue to one side of ribbon and roll into a somewhat flat roll that will fit into pocket formed on outside of strap. Glue in place with ribbon being hidden in pocket and fringe hanging over. Thread about 5 inches of each ribbon in needle and thread through end above fringe and tie in a double knot. Trim ends to desired length, or as shown.
