Fit them to the strap
Take a long strap about 1-1/4 in wide. Punch a hole in the centre of the strap every 2 in or so and push the straight end of a hook through each, so the ring stops it pulling through; bend each so the hook hangs downward when the strap's width is upright. Leave enough at the ends for a buckle and holes, and fit the buckle.
