I woke up early yesterday, and by 8:30 had fashioned myself a new camera strap using a few bits from the commercial one that came with my Nikon.
If you want to know how, I took a few photos and made a tutorial set on flickr. Click here and scroll through the pictures in the set - there are some instructions with each photo that should give you enough info if you want to try it yourself. I love all of the patchwork camera straps that flickr/blogger/etsy folks make, but I figure a pretty patchwork strap would likely cancel any plans I have of my husband carrying this anvil of a camera for me once in a while. The Michael Miller Quilt Pirates print is a fav of mine and I'm sure even the boys won't mind it around their necks.
How FUN! That's just awesome.
ReplyDeleteLove the pirates, fab idea!
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to redo my strap, but like you, I don't really want a girly look. I shall check out your tute!
Great project.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great I must try it. x
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure the boys won't mind carrying the camera with this cute strap! It's a beaut.
ReplyDeleteGreat strap, and excellent forward planing x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! You just gave me an idea, because the kids set my husbands camera strap on fire... and now I can fix it!!
ReplyDeleteCunning plan, will have to remember that one!
ReplyDeleteSuper smart you picking that print! :)
ReplyDeleteThat fabulous fabric looks a little familiar! Way to rally the troops for camera carrying duty! Make it fun and they will follow. Clever idea, very hip look.
