Crafty Rainy Day Project #1

Posted by Amy Rosko on Thu, Sep 27 at 11:46 AM

Ok, so it’s not raining right now, but it’s coming and we can’t deny it. Here’s a fun, easy, and cheap project to try while you are sitting at home this weekend adjusting to what the next 9 months have in store for us.

Guitar Strap Revamp:

Materials needed:
A solid color nylon guitar strap (under $5 at Guitar Center)
2” wide lace in any color (check out the outdoor sale at Fabric Depot)

Instructions:
1. Lengthen the strap as far out as it will go
2. Measure the lace to that length and add 1”, CUT
3. Fold in the ends of the lace (1/2” at each end) and pin the lace to the strap
4. Using your *best* straight stitch, stitch around all edges of the lace attaching it to the strap.
5. Adjust strap to your length and attach to your guitar or bass
6. Perform Dolly Parton songs for your friends and family

That’s it!!

It’s a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll.
