To Custom-Fit the Strap:

To Adjust Length of Strap: Create a series of chains that is 2.5cm
(1) less than the length of strap youd like. Add 3 chains and follow
instructions above.

To Make a Thinner Strap: Reduce the amount of chains by 1 (i.e.
Instead of 158 chains, chain 157). Begin by working 3hdc in 3rd chain
from the hook. Follow the remaining strap pattern, replacing hdc for
dc.
Finishing
Using the tapestry needle, weave in the ends from the body portion of
the holder.
Using the 30cm (12) tails on the straps, sew the ends of the strap on to
opposite sides of the hdc band of the holder. Weave in ends.
Optional: Using a sewing needle and thread, attach buttons over ends of
straps.
