Go to a guitar shop or online to find a woven nylon guitar strap of an appropriate width in the color you want. If you can't find it in a shop you'll need to order it on line, but the cheap straps should be just fine. Adjust the strap to maximum length, decide where you want the buckle and cut the strap at that point. If you don't have or know someone with good sewing skills a shoe, saddle or upholstery shop can sew the buckle into the strap for you. Can't imagine it would be too difficult or particularly expensive.
