The thread used for the assembly and the strips is very similar to the main thread tufts, but you can use any colors you prefer.

Stc 1 at the beginning of the rounds does not count as a point.

The 3rd loop is the one found under the front loop when making a hdc.

You can make the strips as long or as short as you like, but keep in mind that they will stretch when using the bag.
