Ron, I've been using just a plain old bead to do that with my drawstring sporrans.

If you've ever seen a blackpowder "possibles" bag, a lot of them use a bone bead for the same thing.

It's a bit tricky to get both leather thongs through the bead at first, but if they're thick enough the bead works like a friction lock.
