Make this Beaded Sunglasses Strap

Wooden beads are making a comeback right now and their simplicity makes them so versatile!

While chunky wooden beads are being used everywhere in home decor, I thought I’d try my hand at making a beaded sunglasses strap.

And I’m happy to report that this DIY is so simple! It will only take a few minutes but leaves you with a bespoke fashion accessory!

For this project I actually ordered the beads and sunglasses loop connectors online for very cheap. Thank goodness for the internet. When you can’t find exactly what you need for a project locally (or don’t know where to look), eBay & Amazon comes through!

The wooden beads I used were 4-5mm in size, and I’ve linked where you can find some of these supplies online below.

You Will Need:

Wooden Beads
Sunglasses loop connector
Jewellery thread
Jewellery crimps & small pliers

Start by threading your wooden beads onto your jewellery thread. I didn’t actually measure how long my strap was, but just made it how long I wanted it to be.

Once you have enough beads threaded on, leave an inch or so of thread at each end to finish it off. Add a crimp to the thread and loop the thread itself back into the crimp, before squashing it with pliers to create a loop.

Do the same to the other end of your beads and then add the loop connectors onto each end.

Put the beaded sunglasses strap onto your glasses and you’re done!
