    Cut the ends, but you will need to apply clear nail varnish on the ends.

  3. Small 99677 2f2014 06 29 083615 full cathkidstoncam4

    Apply the clear nail varnish to the ends so it doesn't fray

    Line up with your camera strap on the sewing machine

  5. Small 99677 2f2014 06 29 083634 full cathcamerastrap1

    Be sure to adjust the machine's thread tension so it's looser and the camera strap is quite thick and you don't want a jam.

    There you have it your very own pretty camera strap!
