Hi there, it's Mariah from Everything Golden hither to part some other DIY project. I bring been wanting a strap for my photographic television set camera but was uninspired yesteryear what was out there, in addition to thence I decided to brand my own. I establish these cool vintage belts at an antique shop in addition to 1 had the advert Jane carved inward it, in addition to thence I idea what a perfect chance to advert my camera! Here's how yous produce it...
What you'll need: 1. One or ii belts depending on the size. Wrap criterion record roughly your shoulder in addition to figure out what a comfortable length is for you. (I ended upwards using ii belts to larn the length I wanted but yous powerfulness honour 1 belt that is long enough. If yous do, yous tin larn out the buckle on the shoulder cease of the strap in addition to you'll bring an adjustable feature.) 2. A leather punch, establish at most arts and crafts in addition to sewing stores. 3. Scissors in addition to a hammer 4. Strong textile that is pocket-size plenty to tally through the photographic television set camera strap hooks. 5. Measuring record 6. Rivets
Instructions: Measure in addition to cutting your belt/belts to the appropriate size. In my illustration I cutting the ends of my ii belts leaving close 2" overlap. Punch iv holes into the leather using the leather punch. You desire the rivets to hold out a snug it within the holes in addition to thence role the appropriate size punch. I recommend practicing on some flake leather if yous haven't done this before. Then overlap the leather, sideslip the rivets into the hole in addition to using a difficult surface, hammer the rivets to secure the ii pieces of leather together. For the connective to the camera, I left business office of the strap that was currently at that topographic point in addition to attached the leather to it's ends. Every photographic television set camera is unlike an I'm certain at that topographic point are many unlike ways to produce this.
