Modeling a Shoe's Laces

Is there an easy way to finish of these laces? At the moment I have just been extruding > rotating > repeat but I’m having a hard time trying to figure out a way to make the tie part at the top. Any ideas on how to achieve this would be great even if you could direct me to a tutorial or something. Thanks.

I don’t know if this is the best way, but when I did it I used a bezier curve to define where the lace went.

Then you can either model the lace as a straight long cylinder and use the curve modifier to map the lace to the curve, or just set the curve to have some geometry.
