Phone straps, also known as phone charms, have become a super trendy accessory lately. Whether you want to color coordinate with your phone case or just add some personality to your device, phone straps are a great way to do it. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of making your own phone strap, and also provide some small businesses that sell cute phone straps in case you don’t want to make your own.
To make your own phone strap, you’ll need some beads of your choice, any string of your choice, scissors, and a bobby pin (optional). You can get the beads and string from Amazon, and we’ve linked to the products in the article below.
First, start by stringing the beads on the string while it’s still on the roll. This way, you don’t have to worry about measuring the string and cutting it to size. If the string frays at the end, just cut a tiny bit off the top to fix it. Once the beads are on, tie it off by folding the string in half and knotting it, leaving a couple of inches at the top. Double knot it, then cut the extra string and make a second knot. Make sure the knot falls at the very bottom where the beads start.
To put the phone strap on your phone, take the case off and put the loop through the hole where the silent button is. Then, thread the end of the strap with the beads through the loop and pull until it’s secured. Hide the knot inside the phone case so you can’t see it, and your phone strap is ready!
