Blackburn Flea Fixing

I use the lights to be seen but I've broken now two of the pathetic hook and loop straps.
I refuse to pay silly money for replacements, has anyone came up with an alternative solution for fixing on the front bar which does not involve paying £3 to £5 for a replacement hook and loop strap that would break within a week or ten?
The rear light I use two different sized zip ties which works really well

    You want a roll of Guerrilla Tape, Be forewarned though, don't use it for Hair removal, or you will see bone ;)

    Both straps (front and rear) broke in the same place on the glue join which is obviously blackburn's intentional weakness to cash in on over priced after sales of straps, so I will glue and also sew the two sections back together. Will also sew around the hook section as that's just glued!
