If you're looking for a way to keep your sunglasses secure while adding a personal touch, creating a custom sunglass strap can be a fun and rewarding project. Whether you choose fabric or leather, this guide will show you how to make a stylish accessory that suits your taste.
To start crafting your own sunglass strap, gather the following materials: fabric or leather of your choice, scissors, a sewing machine or needle and thread, and a pair of cord locks or beads. Keep in mind that the quality and color of your materials will significantly impact the final look.
Begin by measuring the desired length of the strap, typically around 24-30 inches. Cut your fabric or leather into your measured length, ensuring it is about 1 inch wide. If you’re using fabric, consider adding interfacing to make it sturdier.
Next, fold the edges in and sew them down to avoid fraying. If you’re using leather, you may want to punch holes and use rivets for a more durable finish. Attach the cord locks or beads at both ends of the strap. These will help secure the strap to your sunglasses without slipping off during wear.
Finally, try on your new sunglass strap and adjust it as necessary. This custom approach not only enhances the functionality of your shades but also allows for a unique expression of style.
Now you have your personalized sunglass strap ready to use, combining practicality with personal flair.
