If you have an old unused scarf lying around, why not upcycle it and create this handy DIY scarf camera strap? This tutorial is a great way to reuse a scarf you no longer wear and create a fashionable camera strap that you'll definitely use over and over again.
The great thing about this DIY is you can customize your handmade camera strap depending on the kind of material, design or pattern of the scarf you choose. To connect the scarf to the camera, all you have to do is create this ingenious leather connector out of a scrap bow-tie-shaped piece of leather. Then, place the scarf inside the leather with a ring clasp, fold the leather shut and sew the edges together. Now you can easily clip the ring clasp to your camera and wear it fashionably around your neck.
