Straps

Hello, still new to blender so be a bear with me on this one.

I’m working on a pair of goggles right now, they’re supposed to have straps, because goggles have those. So I’m thinking, is there any good way to make straps that look good? This is what I’ve got so far, why I need help should be fairly obvious since they look awful.

Thank you in advance.

you could try a curve modifier to make them look nice and curved. other then that your probably going to want textures with a bump map to make them look strapping.

notice the strappyness

there is also a way to use the physics engine to make straps hang down i believe. but i don’t know how.
