2. Ensure that the strap is not twisted, and sew it to the bottle holder using the long tail and a yarn needle.
3. Secure the strap to your satisfaction by weaving in the ends.

Step 8: Finishing Touches

• Weave in any loose ends from the strap or around the bottle holder.
• Check the strap attachment to ensure it’s secure and evenly positioned.

Final Notes:

• The bottle holder should comfortably fit a 16.9 fl oz water bottle.
• If your gauge is off or your bottle fits too snugly or loosely, adjust your hook size accordingly.
• You can customize the length of the strap based on your preference, either making it longer or shorter.
