We lug our cameras around so much that they’re basically as important as our handbags, but we could definitely do without those boring camera straps. So of course it made sense for us to DIY our own! We got some awesome beaded trim and more supplies from M&J Trimming, our favorite craft store, and got right to work. Follow our steps below to make your own!
Supplies: 3 1/2 ft beaded trim, 4 ft twill tape, 2 D-rings, 2 metal clasps, E6000 glue
1. Glue the beaded trim directly in the center of the black trim. The trim is long, so you may have to glue it piece by piece. Let dry.
2. Slightly pull open the sides of the D-ring and slide the clasp onto the D-ring so they are connected.
3. Slide the D-ring onto the end of the black trim, leaving an inch or two on the end. Making sure the black trim is flipped over (with the beaded trim on the bottom), apply some glue to the end of the trim and press it down over the D-ring. Hold in place until it dries.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 for the other side of the strap. Hook the clasps onto your camera and you’re all set!
