Usually with the staple from the old, broken belt. Once with a piece of a paperclip bent to shape. Get a good hole by holding the leather under the sewing machine needle and hand turning the wheel to punch a small hole, and using an awl to enlarge it. Never thought about, and hadn't seen the bit about sewing with dental floss until after they were done. Could also use a heavy duty staple from a staple gun...just break it away from the line of staples and bend it to fit.
