Ideas to attach non MOLLE items to a hard MOLLE panel?

[bryson]

I have a gull wing quarter window ala @yodaTEQ that I've had for several years, and enjoy the heck out of it, but I'm looking to take advantage of another of it's features. I have a hatchet, small saw, and a Scepter wrench that I'd like to fasten to the MOLLE panel that comprises the inside of the hatch, but I don't know the best way to do it.

I stole some internet pics of what I'm looking to attach:

The saw pictured is not the exact one I have, but similar enough.


Now, dimensionally these items will all fit on the MOLLE panel, but I don't know how to fasten them to it. I don't want buckles (metal or plastic). I'd rather not have snaps. What I do want is a simple yet strong velcro strap that stays put on the panel when the item is removed. Must be cheap and simple. Is there a way to do this?

This is another stolen pic of the panel I have to work with (mine has nothing attached yet):

Something along those lines, yes. The hangup for me is that I want the strap to stay put when I remove the item, so it's quick and easy to re-mount the item when I'm finished. Any thoughts on how the straps could be semi-permanently attached to the panel while still being quick and easy to use?

I’m no expert on such things but I think you could either attach another Velcro to the back and/or sew it on so it doesn’t pull loose. Essentially sandwiching the panel between.
