Somewhere i saw a guy bend up thin wire into the shape of a digital 8 with a dab of solder at the 2 overlaps. I think he showed several ways to configure straps. I'm still trying do find the thread after a few days.

Anyway, grab needlenose pliers about the width of the ribbon you're using, and some thin solid wire. 1 jaw width make a 90 degree bend, 1 jaw width 90 this is buckle center, 1 jaw width 90, 1 jaw width 90 this is buckle bottom, 2 jaw widths 90, 1 jaw width 90 this is buckle top, then 2 jaw widths or just trim flush. Square up, glue or solder as required.

Easy way of rigging hook 1 strap around center leg, touch of glue, clamp with pliers until cure. Take other strap through top, over middle, and through bottom of buckle.

I think there was also something about glue strap at bottom, then take strap through top, around middle, back through top.
