As I'm a total skin flint and good with a needle I made my own Ukulele strap. Here's a picture of it:
The problems you may face, is that any connector needs to pass under the strings at the headstock end, also the ribbon/webbing needs to be narrow enough to fit between the nut and Tuners.
I chose a woven ribbon, all the webbing was in boy colours like browns and blacks. I did buy some a typical webbing clips but they didn't pass under the strings, so chose instead a buckle, and some pretty buttons. I found the ribbon was pretty impossible to cut a button hole in, so used a press stud underneath the button to hold it together.
If anyone wants a tutorial let me know, it's pretty easy as long as you can sew on a press stud/popper. The press stud will fit through the back of the buckle, so I can adjust the loop if need by and take the strap off when in storage.
I've also brought some blue flowered woven ribbon to do another, but I want to try out this prototype first to see if I need to make any adjustments.
The strap is made long as I'm a lady with a big chest, so need the Ukulele further down then the normal held positioning.
Thanks
