I've also heard that you can use the floppy part of a floppy disk for the same purposes.

Never done it myself, but how about using some Tamiya (or other maker) masking tape.
I've used it for seat belts on aircraft, maybe it might work for rifle slings.......

HEY BONEZONE FORGET MAKING THE STRAPS JUST NICK THEM OFF A DEAD SOILDER HES GOT NO USE FOR IT MY SON GO AHEAD A DONT BE SHY I WILL COVER YOU (BUT STAY LOW SNIPERS ABOUT) WARZONE LATER DUDE

I'm with Doug! Masking tape Can (I also never tryed, but I've seen it used) be a solution for those who don't like/ aren't able to use foil!
Cheers and happy modelling!

I usually use painted post-it notes. A technique I learned from Jim Lewis (Guntruck).

The look like leather and they take a natural looking bend if you are careful.
