Description

i read that the immediate sign of a non-photographer aka dork is using the camera strap that the camera comes with. well i don’t want to look like a dork. so i made myself one.

Instructions

1. 

   i wanted to do my hardware in gold instead of silver, so i searched everywhere for small gold swivel hooks. unfortunately i couldn't find any so prior to starting the project, i rub n' buffed my hooks and spray shellac-ed them. if you're going with silver hardware, you're ready to go.

2. 

   attach the swivel hooks into the d-rings through the small slit.

3. with your leather strip, determine the length you want your strap (i used the strap that came with the camera as a reference) trim to desired length, keeping an extra inch or two for folding over.

4. fold the ends over the d-ring and try to crease as much as you can. once you like it, liquid stitch and try to not get too much on there like i did. OOPS.

5. 

   clip it with your two binder clips on either side and let dry for an hour.

6. repeat on other side. once dry, attach the small keyrings to the camera. told you it was easy.
