Cut your leather to the desired size and sheer off a little triangle at each corner. I did this all by eye since precision isn't that important but feel free to measure.

Dampen your leather with a little water and stamp whatever phrase or word you want to mark the strap with. The water will help make the leather pick up the impression more cleanly. I picked "click." but for valentines day I think "we just click" would be kinda perfect. (I don't have one but this leather stamping set

Voila! A quick and easy way to personalize a simple camera strap for a small camera like mine.
SOOOO cute!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the chances, if I found longer leather, I could do the same thing but for my DRSL? Think it would still work?
I think if you used a thicker piece of leather and solid D rings rather than cord, it would totally work.
