How To Make An Adjustable Strap For Any Bag
This adjustable strap consists of two straps –one longer and one shorter– joined together by a buckle with lobster claws at both ends.
The procedure for making the straps and loop are the same. To avoid showing an unfinished edge we are going to make the edges of the straps meet at the center. Then we are going to glue the vinyl and fabric together and sew the sides. Once both straps and loop are done we are going to attach the hardware.
