Why be creative? What kind of dumbass question is that? Not everyone has cash to throw at their problems you know. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that. Minolta used to make a very good camera strap which fits banjos great without metal clips and if one was found cheap or free...why the hell not?! Otherwise, seatbelt webbing from the wrecking yard, leather belts from the Salvation Army or flea market...whatever it takes, and it can be done as good on the cheap as a taylor made product.

Geez MG, you're a pain in the ass sometimes.
