I didn't use that method. Do a search for "braided bolo" and read cruzer's tutorial, "look what I whipped up today" and you'll see another method with no clip.
I believe you got that off of my post. I modified a SFP fabric braided belt that already had those on it. I just used the M&J trim and wove it through those two loops so I didn't have to use a backing on it.
