  Step 1

  Measure the width of your existing strap.

  This will be your guide.

• Step 2

  Decide how large the cushioned strap will be.

  I decided on 2x the width and added an inch to the length. This is all personal preference.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut 4 pieces of your fabric and two of your batting. Batting should be cut slightly smaller than the fabric.

  (I am aware there are 4 pieces of batting in the picture.)

• 

  Step 4

  Sandwich 1 piece of batting between 2 fabric pieces. Pin down.

• 

  Step 5

  Make a guide out of paper or masking tape and pin it near one of the corners, as seen in the picture.

• 

  Step 6

  Sew, if machine, needle center set; along the edge of your guide for a nice straight line.

• 

  Step 7

  Stitch all the way through. Then stitch perpendicular to your stitched lines.

• 

  Step 8

  Repeat steps 4-7 with the other two pieces of fabric and the other piece of batting.

• 

  Step 9

  Cut four 1 1/2 inch by 6 inch strips of your fabric, or a second fabric.

  Mark the center of the strips. (3/4 inch)

• 

  Step 10

  Iron the edges of the strips to the center line.

  Optional:You can use an iron on adhesive to create a sturdier edge.

• 

  Step 11

  Cut 2 of strips into 3 inch strips and fold over the short ends on each quilted rectangle.

• 

  Step 12

  Sew the strips onto the edges.

• 

  Step 13

  Sandwich the two rectangular pieces together and pin the last 2 strips on the rough edges.

• 

  Step 14

  Sew the strips onto the edges.

• 

  Step 15

  Thread your existing strap through your new cushioned neck piece and enjoy!
