I recently got it in my head to make a fabric band for my loom strop that I could swap the leather out for when I wanted. Using some heavy nylon strapping that I had laying around that was pretty close to the width of the original leather (40mm), I cut a piece, joined it, and punched some holes in the right place and made a fabric replacement instead that I could use with pastes (Dovo red and black, specifically).

It was actually really easy to do and thought I'd share. First is a photo just after I reassembled it, followed by one of each side following the paste application. In the photos the colours of the pastes really come out, making it look like far more paste is on there than was actually applied.
