2. Toy Camera Strap
Supplies:
- Needle nose pliers
- Clasps
- Copper wire
- Safety pin
- Leather cord
Step 1: Cut cord into 3 pieces, attach one end with safety pin to something stable (I used an armchair) & braid until desired length. I made mine 35 inches.
Step 2: Slip ends through clasp.
Step 3: Fold over & wrap excess with copper jewelry wire. I used the pliers to clamp ends down (so I don't get poked) & I trimmed the excess leather.
Step 4: TA-DA!!! Now you have a super simple cute camera strap!

4. 70's Style Camera Strap
Supplies:
- 2 yds cotton webbing
- Masking tape
- Acrylic craft paint
- 2 swivel hooks
- Fabric glue
- Needle and thread
- Metallic leather or vinyl (optional)
Step 1: Measure out the desired length of your strap and add 2 inches.
Step 2: On a work surface use tape to create a geometric design taking care to make sure tape is fully adhered to the webbing. We used the rounded side of a bone folder to smooth the edges on the tape to be sure our paint line were crisp.
Step 3: Now the fun part, apply paint to webbing. Be sure paint is dry before attempting to remove tape. Watching paint dry is a skill that takes practice.
Step 4: Now that your strap is looking amazing, slide the ends through the swivel hook giving yourself about an inch of strapping on the reverse side and glue. Be sure to give the hook a little bit of space to move when gluing.
Step 5: Because you’re hanging your beloved camera around your neck add a few stitches to the glued area for good measure!
