How to Make a New Wrist Stap for Your Small Digital Camera

My son recently cut the wrist strap on my small digital camera. Prior to that, I wasn’t even aware I used the strap. Now, I find myself almost dropping my camera every time I pick it up. I put together a quick no-sew strap that is durable and super easy to assemble, for less than $1.50!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cat collar
• Lanyard hook

1. Cut away any remaining strap from your camera.

2. 

   Purchase a cat collar. Be sure to get one that has the old-fashioned metal connectors. Most collars now days have a plastic break-away fastener to keep the pet from becoming choked if they get caught. Great for cat, not so great for camera.
   
   Walmart has some $1 ones that work great in their pet department. Not hanging up with other leashes and collars, but displayed where food is stored.

3. Remove any unnecessary things from collar. It is common to have bells or other decorative items sewn to the collar.

4. 

   Attach the lanyard hook to the hoop on your digital camera.

5. 

   Thread the collar through the lanyard hook and fasten. You can adjust the wrist band by adjusting the end of the collar.
