DIY: camera strap!

A few months ago- I stumbled upon bloom theory straps (http://www.bloomtheorystraps.com/) and fell in LOVE with them. Almost every single camera strap is my favorite...honestly, they are all adorable. But, they all come with a steep price tag...$100.00 +! YIKES! Maybe, I'll get lucky for Christmas this year..but until then, I'll just continue to dream about them.

Since that life changing event, I decided that I am no longer happy with my boring 'Canon' strap. There had to be a way that I too, can have a fun strap. So- off to pinterest I went. :) Now, I have yet to make the big jump into buying a sewing machine- so I had to find a no sew solution. Luckily, someone was on the same page as me and offered a blog. 

Below are pictures of the strap that I made...I am still hunting for the perfect bow or flower to add- but you get the jist. Here is the blog that inspired me: http://ourlifeisblessedbeyondmeasure.blogspot.com/2011/03/diy-no-sew-camera-strap-cover.html

The strap is made so it is like a cover to your original strap- therefore it could be washed, or switched out with other fun straps! I may just make a few more! :) 



Enjoy! Have a great day!!

p.s. I also ran across this super easy DIY workout tank top- its brilliant really. So, before my jog today I made one up...it worked wonderfully. Check it out: http://dollarssenseandmore.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/diy-tank-top-fashion-on-a-budget/

p.p.s. this is day 40 :)

  1. I'll have to try to make a new camera strap for my Canon Rebel; my current one is old and boring. And I'm always down for a good no-sew DIY. Thanks for the link!!
