DRAWSTRING CLOSURE:
I-cord for as long as you would like the strap to be. (I made mine about 12" for a wrist strap.) Thread drawstring in and out of holes along the bottom.
For extra sturdiness, stockinette stitch a tiny rectangle about .5" x 1", sew each end to the middle, and pull drawstrings through the holes.
