I'd start with an appropriately sized flat nylon dog collar & cobble up the bolt and D-ring to attach it to a camera. An 18 inch collar about 1 inch wide served as a wonderful replacement for the original carrying strap of an old wood 4x5 I had restored to functionality. The shoon (dog to those of you without an "ian" at the end of your surname) whose collar I borrowed to serve as a prototype was constantly under foot until I replaced the collar around her neck.
