The 5 minute sunny strap
May 3, 2012Summer has arrived bringing with it blisteringly hot sun! In addition to spf 50 sunscreen the little munchkin is also sporting a selection of cool shades…which she removes & dramatically tosses to the ground when she tires of wearing them…such a diva! Here’s a lickitysplitquick solution for sunny-tossing-divas of any age:
You can make this groovy sunglass strap right now, in under 5 minutes, with stuff you already have around the house…so let’s get started:
Grab your sunnies & some ribbon, a length of fabric, a shoe lace, a piece of stretched out t-shirt – whatever you have on hand – I used one of those annoying side-ties that are attached to empire-waist dresses
Measure & cut the approximate length you’d like your sunny strap to be (45cms was perfect for the munchkin)
Loop your fabric once around the arm of your sunnies & slide it off
Hand stitch the loop & repeat on the other end of the fabric
Pop your new strap on your sunglasses & head out…
Excellent idea!! Thank you for this! My 2 year old son is always tossing his around too!
