Transparent Clutch DIY

Em seguimento do meu post de há uns uns tempos atrás sobre carteiras transparentes, que podem ver aqui, hoje deixo-vos aqui mais um DIY do blog "a pair and a spare".
Este blog está repleto de inspiração para quem gosta de DIY, eu confesso que sou um pouco preguiçosa, mas sem dúvida que algumas das suas ideias me deixam com imensa vontade de pegar numa tesoura, tecido... e começar a trabalhar. E esta foi uma delas.
Espero que gostem.


In a follow up of my post from June about transparent bags, that you can see here, today I share with you another amazing DIY from the blog "a pair and a spare".
This blog is full of inspiration for those of you who love DIY's, I have to say I'm a little lazy, but there's no doubt some of the ideas in there make me want to pick up a pair of scissors, fabric... and get to work. And this is one of them.
I hope you like it.







How to do it?

You need:
- A big rectangle of clear PVC. Mine was around 3mm thick
- 5 round top studs with screws
- A pen
- Scissors
- Multi hole punch
- A ruler
- An A1 piece of white paper or cardboard


1. Draw the template onto your paper - following the measurements you see below. Click here for a bigger
    version. Note that the image itself is indicative and not to scale. The measurements are approximate
    because I think you can make it a little bigger or smaller or give it a different shape if you want, it's just
    about trimming it to suit you, but this template will give you the general structure.



2. Cut your template out and then use some tape to stick it on your pvc.

3. Cut your pvc, using the template as a guide.

4. Remove the template from the pvc.

5. Fold the corners over like an envelope, folding the sides in first, then the bottom, and then lastly the top
    flap.

6. Decide where you want to put your stud beads to secure the envelope shape. I have put little coloured 
    circles on the template to give you an idea of where the holes should go for the studs. Use the hole 
    puncher to make holes relative to the size of the screw in the stud bead. 
                                 

7. Push the screw through from the underneath and then screw the top on

8. For the lower holes, make the top hole first and then mark with a pen the inside hole. Open up the bag to
    make the inside hole.

9. Once all the holes are done - close the bag to work out where to put the stud that will act as a latch.

10. Mark with a pen and then use the hole punch to put a hole in the underside of the opening. Thread the stud bead through the single underneath layer, and then put another hole in the flap to be used to secure the opening by pushing the hole over the stud.


Now you just have to put what you want inside!
Agora é só pôr o que quiserem dentro!

DIY . Chain Camera Strap

Normalmente não sou muito de DIY's, adoro ver, mas depois a preguiça apodera-se de mim e acabo por não fazer.
Mas ao ver este DIY no blog" a pair and a spare ", tenho que dizer que fiquei cheia de vontade de ir já comprar uma corrente, cola e tudo o que é preciso para começar a fazer a minha nova corrente para a máquina fotográfica.
O efeito é quase como se estivesse a levar uma carteira ao ombro, e o melhor é que é super simples de fazer.
Eu vou experimentar e vocês?




Usually I'm not much of a DIY girl, I mean, I love to see them, but then my laziness gets the best of me and I never really do them.
But seeing this DIY on " a pair and a spare " blog, I have to say I'm anxious to go buy a chain, glue and whatever I need to start making my new chain camera strap.
The result is almost as if you're carrying a purse on your shoulder, and the best is that it's super easy to do.
I'm going to try it out, what about you?

Lau




You need (precisam):
- 2 m of strong but lightweight bronze chain (you don't want to double the weight of your camera!)
- 2 sliplock buckles (I used the ones that came on my nikon strap)
- 50cm of strong nylon webbing
- E6000 glue
- Scissors





1. Cut the nylon webbing in half.


 2. Slide one end of the nylon webbing through the camera strap holder on the camera.

3. On the outer lower half of the nylon webbing, thread one of the sliplock buckles


4. Fold the chain in half and slide the two loose ends onto the nylon webbing. 

5. Double the nylon webbing over and pass back through the sliplock buckle.

6. Thread the other loose end through the sliplock buckle and reinforce both ends with E6000 glue



7. Press down to dry and feel free to reinforce the glue with some hand stitches through the webbing. Finally, repeat this process for the other end of the strap.
