Okay. So this is up there on the Not Too Exciting list. But I've got a long way to go to get to 26 projects by February so we're rolling with it.

I never use a camera strap. Ever. In general, I only use my big camera around the house so it's never in harms way. But, before we left for vacation, I decided that I should attach the strap to make carrying it around easier. And then I made the executive decision that the strap needed to get fancy.

Enter : The Only Fabric I Ever Seem To Use. Green and white striped decor weight fabric. It can also be seen inside the trunk, on the couch pillows and as box covers at my craft shows. Good times.

Like it always does, it seemed perfect for this project. I cut a piece that was about 4×22 inches and machine stitched it right on top of the original Canon strap with a heavy duty needle.

Again, nothing too exciting, but certainly an improvement. And it's already helping me use the camera more so check plus to that.

    I have this project on my creative to-do list too. The green & white stripes make it much more fun.

    This is really cute! But what about when it gets dirty/you get sick of the fabric? Would you just rip it out and sew it on again? Just wondering 🙂

    Hmmm I would probably just take the strap off and toss it in the washing machine.

    Great Idea! I’m going to have my wife make me one out of this carbon fiber looking material that I was left over from something else.
