Scarf Camera Strap

Hello friends!

I made a camera strap!
&
It's not just any camera strap... it's made out of a scarf!

This link will take you to the DIY I was inspired by :)

Let me just please tell you how glad I am that this thing is finished. I'm not a pro at using my sewing machine yet so I ended up doing it by hand. (Ouch.)

Here's what I bought:

• A scarf (on sale) at Target
• A scrap of leather (Hobby Lobby)
• Some split rings--you only need 2 (Hobby Lobby)
• Some chain closures -- I'd suggest buying different ones than these because they gave me a ton of problems.

Here's the pattern of the scarf :)

I connected the rings and closures.

I'm sorry for all the selfies... I never have straight hair. :)

Before:

^

I folded and measured the halfway point on the leather and then marked the size for the split rings.

I cut out the shapes! They look like little bow ties :)

^

I put all the pieces together. Ready to sew!

^^

The scarf was super long so I cut some of it off.

I bunched up the fabric on the ends and then sewed them so it'd be easier to work with. :)

After:

(It's not a beautiful sewing job, but I put a lot of time and energy into them, ha. Maybe I'll do this again, but learn how to do it on my sewing machine.)

I MOVED TO COLLEGE WHAT THE HECK

(Sorry for the ridiculous mess and terrible lighting.)

(Oh and here's some awesome quality iPhone pictures in really awesome lighting because I couldn't physically take a picture of my camera with my camera.)

A kid in the Dominican Republic put that sticker on my camera :)

Thank you for being awesome.
