Camera Strap Alteration

by on June 29, 2007 in Create, HOW TO

I don’t like to wear clothes that SHOUT what brand I’m wearing.  My camera strap was a little loud for me.  Sure, I’m happy I have a Canon, but I don’t need to advertise for them.

I bought this tape from the fabric store for under $3 and I used about 1/3 of it for this project.  The yard of ribbon was $3/yard.  I used about 3/4 of it.  The tape works just like double-sided tape.  Very easy.

The flash made the colors washed out, but the final product was pretty cool.  If I find a different ribbon in the future, it can be easily replaced using the same process.  Total crafty time = 5 minutes.

    Guitar straps make perfect funky camera straps. I have a whole heap of funky 60-70 style tapestry straps for may cameras. Brought a whole heap off eBay really cheap.

    That’s a good idea! I’ll have to look into that.
