I think I'd glue them to the top side. They would look a lot better. =
That reminds me. I still have to get a bag of clothespins and see if I =
can figure out how to turn them around to make them into small flat =
bladed clamps.

      How about cutting small pieces of thin buckskin, gluing them to =
the underside of the end of the tape, and using a needle, make a hole in =
the leather through the original hole.  This should give you a tight =
fitting new hole that should fit with some resistance over the end of =
the wire, thus staying in place.  Maybe......

    Not the normal twist.  The end of the tape just pushes over the wire =
and the bend in the wire keeps the tape from sliding down the wire. The =
bend doesn't hold the tape captive.=20
    I'm sure you all see what this is leading to. The hole in the end of =
the tape has become enlarged and the wire, which is acting like a =
mechanical bull, throws the tape off. The problem is that occasionally =
the end of the tape interferes with the action.
    Any simple solutions?
