    I did some similar to the first ones but easier. Just cut the woven cloth ribbons to 12", fringe both ends like you did and fold them over at an angle. Then sew with enough room to slide the velcro/elastic strip through and you're done.

    I've done several sets like this myself. I'm trying to find some PINK that aren't nylon to make a set for the Komen Cure walk in a couple of weeks. The cotton belting unravels much better for the tassels. The nylon is a bugga-bear to try to do it with (I've tried). I just use the thread from unraveling to whip wrap the tassels.
