Baste 1/4″ around each eye hole.  Clip the eye holes up to the stitching ling and fold the fabric to the wrong side and press.  

Step 5: Create the straps

Take the two rectangles and fold them in half lengthwise.  Stitch along one short end and one long edge using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Turn the strips right sides out and press.
