Work description

Step 1.

Cut the bag strap to the desired length. In this case, we use 160 cm.

Step 2.

Apply Fray Stop to the cut ends of the strap to prevent fraying. Let it dry briefly.

Step 3.

Attach the adjustable buckle. Thread the strap through the buckle and pin the end in place. Then, sew the end securely using a sewing machine.

Step 4.

Take one musceton hook and slide it onto the strap, making sure the hook is on the right side (the side with the ethnic print).

Step 5.

Thread the loose end of the strap back through the adjustable buckle. The adjustable mechanism is now in place, allowing you to modify the length using the buckle.

Step 6.

Now that the adjustable buckle is in place, attach the second musceton hook to the other end of the strap. Pin it in place and secure it with the sewing machine.
