[Bead Stitch] Hand-Sewn Smartphone Strap

Indian embroidered ribbon smartphone strap | hand-sewn | no sewing machine needed | bead stitch | handmade | DIY

A smartphone strap made with Indian embroidered ribbon and fabric ribbon is perfect for changing your phone’s look or customizing it to your taste.

Prepare the embroidered ribbon and fabric ribbon so their widths match.

Cut the cord 10 cm longer than the length you want to use.

You’ll also need a swivel hook, bead embroidery thread, and beads.

When sewing the Indian embroidered ribbon and fabric ribbon together, hand-stitch using the bead embroidery thread and beads.

After sewing both edges completely with beads, fold back the ends of the ribbon and attach the swivel hook.

It’s hand-sewn, so it takes time, but that makes it a piece you’ll feel especially attached to.

[Chirimen] Crane Strap

From fabric to a mini crane strap! Miniature DIY #9

Here’s an idea for making a crane strap using chirimen fabric.

Fold a crane from a square piece of chirimen.

The folding steps are the same as when you make it with origami paper.

Unlike paper, chirimen tends to spring back after folding, so secure the folds with glue as you go.

Once folded, insert a T-pin from the bottom of the crane, thread on a bead, and curl the tip of the pin.

Then just attach a strap to the end of the T-pin.

It’s very easy, so try making one with your favorite patterned chirimen fabric.

[Nordic Fabric] Owl Strap

[100-yen DIY] How to Make a Lucky Owl Strap: Owl Charm Made with Scandinavian Fabric — handmade/sewing/How to make a keyring/easy sewing/Good fortune comes

The mascot strap of an owl with adorably round eyes may look difficult when you see the finished piece, but you can actually make it by hand! Cut your chosen fabric into two rice-ball shapes, one large and one small, and sew around the edges.

By sewing together the same shapes in different sizes, it naturally forms a nice three-dimensional shape! Once you’ve sewn partway around, stuff it with cotton, and after sewing it closed, the owl base is done.

Then just shape it, sew on the facial features and the strap parts, and it’s complete.

Choosing fabric combinations sounds fun, too.
