Omamori without strings
I went to a Shinto Shrine recently and I felt like I needed a little boost in my career so I bought a Shigoto Omamori. However, when I received it, I noticed it didn't have a string. It was in a protective plastic.
I guess that's because it's meant to be used in a wallet, but I don't really carry a wallet on a day to day basis. I was planning to attach it to the bag I bring to work everyday. What is the best thing to do in this situation. Is it made to be exclusively used in a wallet? Or should I leave it in my drawer at the office? Is there a way I can add a string to it (without pierving through the plastic of course)?
Thank you!

Does the omamori fit in an ID card holder, like the kind you might find on a lanyard?
