I had a post on this some time ago. Not sure where it is though. Really easy, just time consuming and tedious
 
My wife strings her's

You can use the floss that is for embroidery from the crafts stors, or you can that sring you use for chaulking lines when setting up cement. It's not quite twine but not really thin steing, about 1/16" or slightly thicker. The easy pattern is to just zigzag back and forth while stepping to the next hole when you back at the fender. Also note you want to have the fender on and the wheel and chain adjusted to where it will be while ridden.
 
Just do a search for a thread called "skirt guards revisited". Thats my take on the pattern. I finally found it on here.
 
Hemp string. Comes in various sizes. Period correct. Available in many places on line.

My wide concurs with hemp string

She got it at Michael Lavine's but Ny place with a craft section, think the string for little girls jeweler bracelts or necklaces
 
I have contemplated the installation of the webbing on my 38 or so Hawthorne. Was trying to find the type string that was used back in the day.
Thanks for starting this post back up again.
