My first attempt!

That is a very ingenius and creative way to solve the problem.

BTW, how do you guys cut the gimp? I finally settled on a pair of fingernail clippers since they gave me the cleanest cut. Scissors and wire cutters just mangled the end when I tried it.

I want to try that. Sounds really good.....

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the diagram - now I really do understand. Sorry I've not any suggestions re. a better way to attach the clasp as I string altogether differently.
I agree with Caitlin that your method of attaching the gimp is very ingenious.
