Easy to make camera strap cover and a DIY camera bag tutorial


Ok, so I love my new DSLR camera, I really do. But the standard neck strap that comes with it is just not comfy at all.
So I made a padded cover for the strap!

This will make Mr P very happy. Ok, maybe he won’t be too keen on the colour but he will be happy that it will actually be around my neck more often! As soon as I pick it up, he straight away says, “Put it around your neck.” He has a fear that I am going to drop it. Ok, so it may be the most expensive present he has ever brought but he needs to let go & trust that I am totally in love with it.
{hear that Mr P?}

The strap cover that I made is just like a long tube that is lined with polar fleece & fits snuggly over the strap.

Now, I think I need to make a couple more. All different colours of course!
Nothing about DSLR camera’s are pretty at all. Even really cute & fashionable bags are hard to find. I have found these super cute ones from Jo Totes in the USA.

But as Mr P just spent so much on a new camera, I think I will have to stick with the unattractive one that I have or follow this tutorial that I found on how to DIY your own camera purse

The tutorial is straight forward & very do-able.
I have also found links to several different camera strap cover tutorials. Click on the pictures to take you there.
