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.
this custom camera strap is saweet!
i love the burlap look and ruffle trim
with the initial

Neat strap, very fitting for your friend!
her email to me after she got it indicated she was pretty happy with it!
I think you are on to something. You can drop me a note with what you will be charging, I might just want to be a trend setter.

I need a camera. Then I’ll need a strap. Can you help me with the first? :o) Love this. Love the contrast between the industrial fabric and the ruffle.
I can tell you where to buy a camera if that is what you need! Sorry I don’t have an old one sitting around to give you 🙁 you know what happened to my old one!!!
I 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.
Love it! Nice job!
Awesome! Totally. I love cute stuff!
what a great project! love the way it turned out–awesome!
hey! my name starts with b !!! is that really a surprise for ME?? just kidding! but really, Jill, i LOVE it!!
