OK. Understandably, there may be other better and easier ways, but this is how I made mine, and until I find an easier way to do it, it's going to have to stay that way...The photos are for a 1:6 scale figure, but the same thing can be done for Mego scale.
First, you start with a thin strip of cloth and dot glue/or spread a thin layer on the wrong side edge of it:
Then you do the exact same thing on the opposite side, kind of like folding a piece of paper into thirds. The point is that you want to make sure that your belt loop does not show any raw edges.
You attach the belt loop to the waistband (that's already sewn onto the pants). I like to punch through the middle of the belt loop, and usually end up using four tiny stitches. That way the belt loop should not be pulled off unless you use a lot of force:
You can make several of these strips of belt loops and have plenty of them going on at the same time. I am lazy, so I bend down the belt loop and attach to the other side of the pants. Looks almost like a cool purse, huh?
And for the best and most satisfying part, cut off with extremely sharp small scissors to the height of your waistband. You should end up with the most professional-looking store bought kind of belt loop (hopefully!):
