Introduction: Adjustable Guitar Strap From Bike Inner Tube

By
Make an adjustable guitar strap in minutes!

Step 1: Materials


You'll need:
  • Inner Tube
  • Scissors
  • Duct Table
  • 1” Grommets with pegs (as many as you want adjustments)
  • Grommet setter
  • Rubber Mallet
  • Sharp cutting blade
  • Superglue

Step 2: Cut Tube


Standard guitar strap lengths range from 37 - 52 inches.  This project works best creating a strap +/- 5 inches from length of tube.  

Retain scrap pieces of tube for a later step.

Step 3: Tape Ends


Step 4: Grommet Placement

Place grommets and press down hard enough to create indentations.

Step 5: Score Indentations


Cut tube at indentations. 

Retaining the rubber in the middle of the grommet, rather than punching it out, will help keep the strap in place.

Step 6: Pound Grommet


Hard!

Step 7: Cover Back


Glue extra pieces of tubing on the back of the strap.

This adds strength, keeps metal from scraping the guitar and just makes it look nicer all around.

Step 8: Button Hole


Cut thin slit in the middle of the grommet.  Just a touch smaller than the button.

Step 9: Attach Strap to Front and Back...


...and rock!
