1. Cut the ends off of a clear beverage bottle made of PET to form a tube. Cut tube into rings or straps if desired. One could leave one end of the bottle on to form a waterproof, durable cap, in fact.

2. Slip tube/ring over stuff to be secured together. Techniques for securing a strap will be your choice.
