Recently a friend asked me if I could make her a camera strap. Not a strap cover but the whole strap. I said I could most likely manage that. She then sent me this link. And I came up with this.
‘B’ because her name starts with B.
The small key rings that will attach to the camera came from Jo-Ann Fabrics. The larger rings that the strap is stitched to came from Lowes. In the hardware department. I love Lowes. I get all excited feeling when I get to go to Lowes with Trav. You just never know what you might discover that can be repurposed!
The ruffled ribbon I had purchased several weeks ago from this etsy shop
The fabric is a drop cloth from Menards.
Do you need a camera strap for your camera? Email me!

June 3, 2012 at 12:02 amI was totally kidding, I have a cheap digital that my dad gave me when he bought a new one. It works for no more than what I do. I’m good to take candids of my boys.
