After this I also tried clamping both ends of the strip to make a loop and then turning the piece inside the loop with my fingers.
But what I think will work perfectly is when I eventually get my vice and I can clamp the piece being sanded and use the strip of sand paper much like a shoe shine boy cleaning the toe of a shoe.
