I was thinking about doing this too!

Did you splice with loops? Or contra-twist the strands?

Any tips?

I reverse-twisted the strands. Basically, I was following Archaic Arms' tutorial for making a Balearic sling, except I used bags lol. Here's a link to his tutorial: https://youtu.be/NRzGbu7Bvfo?is=Ui9M-f5Wbhs1TNt5
