This one is fun! Here’s how to make a crochet phone strap with beads.
I made myself one of these before a recent trip and found it so handy! No dropping your phone when you’ve got one of these on. This phone strap features a range of colourful beads threaded onto some vibrant thread. Perfect for showing your personal style. What colours will you make yours in?

You will need the following tools and materials to make your phone strap:
1: Thread. I used this pink nylon thread. Make sure it is thin enough to fit your beads but not too thin.
2: A pair of scissors.

3: Beads. I used a random selection of beads from my collection in a mixture of materials including glass, plastic and timber.

4: A crochet hook. I used a 3.5mm crochet hook.

5: Some superglue to secure the knots.
You will need the following tools and materials to make your phone strap:
1: Add the beads to the thread.
2: Create a loop and tie it in a knot, this will be the loop you use to add the strap to your phone case.
3: Now create a slip knot close to the loop you just made and slip it over the crochet hook.
4: Tighten the loop around the hook.
5: Take the longer part of the string and loop it over the crochet hook in front of the first loop.
6: Take the first loop and pull it over the second one and off the crochet hook.
7: Repeat steps 5 and 6 a couple more times before sliding one of the beads up to the hook.
8: With the bead next to the hook, loop the thread around the hook again to create another link to the crochet chain. When you pull the loop over, it will secure the bead in place. Continue in this fashion, adding beads as you see fit until you have a strap long enough to fit around your wrist loosely.
9: Once your crochet chain is long enough, cut the thread and secure the end loop by threading the end through the last loop of the chain.
10: Tie the ends of the strap together, securing the knot a few times.
11: Trim the excess thread.
12: Add a dab of glue to the knot to secure it in place.
Now your beaded crochet phone strap is finished and ready to use! What will yours look like?
