Next, you need to create loops on either side of the bottle so that you can attach a strap to the loops.

1. If you don't have enough thread still attached to your bottle piece, weave in a fresh thread so you are coming out of one side of the bottle neck. Remember the beads you used to connect the stars around the neck. You want your thread coming out of the middle of this row of beads.

2. String on about 12 seed beads. You can decide if you want to use your primary (A) or secondary (B) color. I wanted my strap to blend in, so I used my A color beads.

3. Go back through the bead your thread is coming out of and through all 12 beads to reinforce the loop.

4. Snake your needle through your star so you are coming out of the other side of your bottle neck and repeat steps 2 and 3 for your second loop.

5. Tie off and snake in any loose threads.
