Camera Strap Cover Tutorials

February 16, 2010 By: Jessica Category: Just For Fun

I big pink puffy heart my camera strap cover. It makes my strap so much more comfortable, helps me easily distinguish my camera from my husband’s and helps me not to be such a walking billboard for Nikon.

You can possibly tell how much I love it by how dirty it is. I think it’s time for a new one!

Many times since I made my strap cover I have wanted to put together a MomShots tutorial for anyone who may be interested in making their own. I still haven’t done that. I’m a pretty big procrastinator sometimes. Have you noticed?

So in the meantime, I thought I’d post some links to camera strap cover tutorials that I found online.

Strap cover #1, similar to the ones I make. Made by the creative Tidy Mom.

Strap Cover #2. Made by Design Sponge. I really like the tight fit of this cover. I’m thinking about trying my hand at one of these.

Strap Cover #3. This patchwork cutie is great. I love the idea! This is on the Fabric Family Fun blog.

Strap Cover #4. Lil Blue Boo made this adorable strap cover using leftover pieces of ribbon. I am really impressed. It’s a super fun way to use up pieces of ribbon you might have laying around.

Strap Cover #5. A strap cover with a pocket is on my list of must make items. I don’t always have a pocket in my clothes to put my lens cap so this is a perfect alternative. This great design is made by Simply Modern Mom.

Strap Cover #6. A great basic strap tutorial found at Made By Petchy.

Strap Cover #7. Adorable strap cover that is a great way to use left over scraps of fabric you may have laying around. This was made by Make It and Love It.

Strap Cover #8. If you don’t want to design your own pattern, The Sweetest Patterns on Etsy offers a downloadable PDF that you can purchase for only $4.50.

Well that’s a pretty good list of sites that can get you started and on your way quickly. If you make a camera strap cover, I am sure you will love it as much as I love mine! If you don’t want to make one and would like to purchase one already made there are some adorable ones available on Etsy at really great prices.

I’m kind of inspired and thinking that I need to keep my eyes peeled for some cute fabric this week and make a new one. Mine is starting to look a bit dingy. But really, do I need an excuse???

   one of the blogs I follow ( I think you do too) is doing a ‘Sew-a-long’. A camera strap would be a good project for that!
   -just an idea!

   You know, joe dragged home a sewing machine for me last year. I had these grand dreams of making cozy quilts to pass down though the family. I’ve not sewn the first thing! Maybe I’ll try this.

   Thanks for the linky love!! I’m in need of making a new one for myself as well!! I made some for friends with the pocket, so I can’t wait to make myself a new one with a pocket!!

   My biggest problem……I HATE re-attaching my strap to my camera, it took me longer to do that than it did to make the strap!
