In this video, I show you how to make your own trendy cellphone sling. I have printable pattern pieces for the D Ring Accent and Strap Accents available for a small fee on my website here: https://lindshandmade.com/collections/pdf-patterns/products/strap-and-d-ring-accents-for-diy-cellphone-sling-tutorial
(The strap accent template is the same pattern piece used in our Mav Pack and Guardian Anti-theft backpack patterns, so if you already own either of those patterns, then you already have the template!)
If you’d like to make a cute little pouch to attach to the d ring, here’s the video for that: https://youtu.be/iGIvotpVwpk?si=Wqr5ZB3NIY8ucGqq
