If your camera is starting to look a bit drab, making a DIY Camera Strap for it may be in order. Whether you are only a shutterbug or photography is your main source of income, I am certain that you will love the **DIY camera straps** we have listed here. And just like other DIY lists I have written here, most of these projects are very easy. Some need sewing but trust me, you can make these in under an hour. ## 1. Basic ![Basic](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/lifestyle/2012/07/119_500x403.jpg) This tutorial will give you a chance to make a cuter version of your camera's old strap. Basically, you will make a similar strap but instead of the standard thick grosgrain with label, you will be using cute fabric. Fun!

And clever Tacie used them to make this rainbow-licious **DIY camera strap**. Of course, you have a choice when it comes to the color of the webbing. I suggest you choose something colorful, though, because black can be too boring sometimes. [Tutorial](http://sunglassesandroadtrips.blogspot.com/2012/04/rainbow-camera-strap-and-kind-of.html) ## 5.
