DIY handles

I just bought a Bullet 1.5 with a bar, had 15 km/h wind on Sunday and had a blast. I'm getting ready for a bigger kite to pull me around the lake next winter.

I've been poring over the net and found tons of info but there are a few things that I'd like to know.

The brake lines are connected to a wristband, through a loop on the bar. Can someone tell me the purpose of the velcro tab/clasp combo on the wristband line?

Also, I want to make some handles. Flexifoil website has a nice photo of a pair but I need dimensions. I would appreciate anyone posting the size of their Flexifoil handles or a better design for DIY handles.
