What I've done in the past is to cut a bit of elastic, and sew ribbon to *both* 
ends.  This way the ribbon doesn't need to be very long (shorter dangly bits) 
and you get a bit of 'give' for sizing.

When I thread the elastic/ribbon through the casing, I also tack (backstitch) 
'across' the elastic in the casing at least in the middle (I hope that's 
clear), so it doesn't keep slipping out.

I hope this helps!
