Yeah! It’s that time of year, again. Time for a new camera strap cover! Last May, I made one using some fabric from a vintage pillow case. This year, I went bright.
I’ve had this fabric in my possession for years. I think it was one of the first fabrics I thrifted. I saw it hanging amongst some other boring pieces and knew it was special. SO special, I brought it home with me….and then neglected it. Until the other day! I wanted something new for my camera. I love my old strap cover, but I wanted something with some more color. I used the fabric as a backdrop in some photos and wanted to make *something* out of it. Camera strap it is!
Isn’t it wonderfully Springy?
Ooooh! Also–I had a long scrap that I ripped off of it to even out the edge and couldn’t bear to part with it, so I turned it into fabric tape using my Xyron sticker maker. Waste not, want not!
So cute – perfect for spring!
Very pretty
Wow, you made one!! That’s awesome! I got a dotted strap for my bday last year from trendy straps that I love, but I so wish I was crafty enough to make one!
Oh, cute!! :) I *love* that fabric!
fan. tas. tic. fabric! And so perfect for your strap!
Thank you! I wish I had more of the fabric. I don’t even know who the manufacturer is, so I haven’t been able to find it online.
Makes an otherwise normal-looking camera into a work of art! How fabulous!
I have a crush on your camera strap.
Xyron sticker maker huh? hmmmm….
yeah! I have the smallest one (1.5″) and I find it perfect for my random bits of fabric. I just cut them to size and run them through it. I use the stickers on envelopes and stuff like that.
This is such a great idea. My camera strap is boring – and it hurts my neck sometimes. Something like this the solution I think!
This is just a cover, so it doesn’t provide any extra support, but I’m sure one could sew some padding or maybe put some felt on it for super comfort.
I am totally jealous of your skills! =]
aw! It’s just a few straight lines. After you get a pattern (tracing your camera strap), it’s pretty easy.
So pretty! I just use the boring Nikon one the camera came with. I’m super paranoid about my strap breaking
Thank you! this is just a cover! It goes right over my Nikon strap. :)
I’ve always kinda hated the traditional straps that cameras come in and the ones in the store are also boring but MAKING one for yourself? Well, that’s just so original and it looks easy enough. I hope you don’t mind me being a copy cat:)
