"Now I'm actually going to reverse the strap. This is a little doohickey my husband and I came up with, I just never cut the wire off because it stands up nice if I leave it on there. I'm sure eventually we'll use the wire, probably, for making some fairy wings. Going to go ahead and thread yours all the way on there. You can do this with any piece of wire that's got a little strength to it, put a little hook on the end. I'm going to put this all the way up in there, make sure it's on there secure, I'm going to flip it so this goes inside out over top of it. Now it's always a good idea to leave a little extra on the strap just in case the hook should rip a hole in it, and it's not as big a deal if you had a little extra on there to start. Make sure that you work it gently, because if you rip it off, then it's probably, you're going to have to start all over. You just hold it here when you're trying to work the top, rather than just pulling it all the way because it will rip it off of there. And look, it stayed on there. We're going to go ahead and just slide it up and slide it down, and it will come out, and just go ahead and work the rest of it. And when you're done, it will look just like so!"
