Check out The Vintage Pearl for her new camera strap cover giveaway.  Totally cute stuff!!!

This isn’t a Momshots giveaway but a giveaway over at The Vintage Pearl.  Her friend makes these beautiful camera strap covers and you can win one.  Check out her site and follow her instructions.  I hope I win, but if you win I will be equally excited!!!

well that and it makes my neck strap a little more comfortable.  I saw these and decided that I just had to have one.  While I LOVE supporting small businesses and entrepreneurial ventures I couldn’t let a fun little project like this pass through my life.  I am a sucker for easy and quick projects (that and I got the stuff to make two for $3).  So I made one.  

I found a few sites that sell new camera straps.  I wrote about it a while back.  I think fun camera straps and lens cozies are just too cute.  I love them.  I want an arsenal of camera straps so that I can change them with my mood.  Wouldn’t that be fun?

Anyway, instead of ripping apart my current camera strap, I made a sleeve.  I like that it is changeable so that when it gets gross, I can just pop it in the wash or just make a new one.  I actually bought fabric to make a second sleeve but stopped at just one.  I’ll save the fabric for later and make it another day.  

One of the cool things about this is that you use fusable fleece to pad both sides of the strap so it adds a little bit more comfort around your neck.  If you’re like me, I end up wearing my camera for a looonnnnggg time while you are trying to get the perfect Momshot.

If you end up making one, be sure to post a photo of it on Flickr so we can all share in your coolness!
