Getting ready for a vacation in Japan also includes making my camera more comfortable to keep hanging around my neck. On my last few trips, I left my camera sitting in my bag more often than I should have and missed some great shots because the strap I have is just damned uncomfortable.

In steps Design Sponge’s DIY Wednesday camera strap cover tutorial to save my neck!

Here’s how mine came out:

I’ve had this fabric for about 4 years & I got it in a swap on craftster ages ago. I love it – I use my dwindling supply only for special things. I made a chop stick holder and furoshiki for Mar‘s wedding gift. Wish I had photos from her wedding. 🙁 no digi cam at the time.

Have fun – the tutorial only took me about 45 minutes to do, including my crazy amount of ironing.
