Cut it to length and glue it on......done!
Deer hide is perfect for this because it's the only leather that can get wet and when it dries out it doesn't get all hard and start cracking. It gets a little hard at first, but just scrunch it up with your hands a little and it returns to softness. Other leathers won't do that, so deer hide is perfect for floorboard and fender skirts that see more wetness then most other places on a bike might.

The fringe is deer hide, so it's quite porous and the glue holds it quite well. It's been on since '09 and it's still holding strong. The mud skirts are held on by gluing (same E6000 glue) the fringe to some industrial velcro, and then gluing the other side of the velcro to the inside of the fenders.

It would be great if the next time you happen to have the seat off if you would post a picture showing how the fringe attaches.
