The $2 Camera Strap

Step 5

Now you have your strap! This should be easy to adjust, and strong enough to withstand anything your camera can. I would advise writing your name and phone number on the webbing of your strap with a permanent marker, in case it gets lost.

One thing that my friend recommended is to use electrical tape and tape a film canister onto the small rope part. This way you will have a place to store your next roll of film until you change, for those of us still using film, anyway. Great tip, Scott.

One final thing,make sure the knots wont slip or come undone once they get some weight on them. If you tied them correctly then I don't know why they would, but better safe than sorry. Just give the strap a few good, strong tugs to get the knots tight and settled and to make sure they wont slip. Once you are satisfied that you wont drop your camera then go out and enjoy.

As always, thank you for looking and please feel free to comment and give advice or criticism on my first instructable.

I enjoyed your instructable. I have tried a few methods of getting just the right camera strap also, still not perfected. I should probably do an instructable on my method someday, but I think I'll try yours as well
