For popper try this. Have the right sized tubing (usually large)
Tie a few wrap of thread around the very front face of the popper and secure it with a couple of half hitches.
Put material over head of popper up against the thread, actually facing the wrong direction. So the tubing is going in the opposite direction of the hook, secure it with thread and tie it off. Now tie the thread to the front of the hook behind the popper head and secure.
clip off tubing the length of the head plus another 1/2" or more.
Gently push tubing back, so it turn inside out and rolls onto and over the popper head like a stocking.
Pull down and smooth out.
Secure rear with thread.
Coat with anythng from 5 minute epoxy to urethane.
best,
