Step 1
First, measure and cut your scarf so that it is 40 inches long.
Step 2
Then, fold the piece of leather in half. The straight side of the D-ring will rest inside the fold. Draw a shape that looks like a half an hourglass, with the shortest side on the fold, using the D-ring to calculate its size.
Step 3
Next, cut along the lines. When you unfold it, the leather piece will look like a full hourglass. Do this twice to make two hourglass leather pieces.
Step 4
Now, fold the scarf lengthwise. Place one half of a leather piece under one end. Slide the D-ring onto the piece of leather.
Step 5
Fold over the leather piece so the end of the scarf and the D-ring are sandwiched inside the leather.
Step 6
Attach a clip to the D-ring.
Step 7
Switch your sewing machine needle to a 110/18 needle made for leather. Sew the leather piece to the scarf with your sewing machine.
Step 8
Attach your new scarf to your camera.
Keep it for yourself or wrap it up for the perfect gift to give your favorite photographer this holiday season.
