If you don't want to deal with scissors, you could pinch a clothespin on the top of the string. I'm sure there's a cuter way to do this, but I'm still workshopping

Definitely stealing this idea!! Only thing I think id change is adding a slope of cardboard in the bottom section so the item moves to the entrance!
