You’ll need the following tools and materials to make your crochet phone strap:

Follow these steps to make your crochet ribbon phone strap:
1: Create a slip knot at one end of the ribbon, leaving enough length for tying the bow at the end.
2: Put the knot over the crochet hook and pull it tight.
3: Take the long end of the ribbon and loop it over the hook in front of the first knot.
4: Take the first loop and pull it over the second one you just made. This is the start of the crochet chain.
5: Continue step 3 and 4 to continue forming the chain.
6: When your chain is long enough, thread the end of the ribbon through the end loop and pull it tight.
7: Trim any excess ribbon so that both ends are the same length.
8: Tie the ends of the crochet chain around the end of the phone charm strap.
9: Tie the ends into a bow.
Now your phone strap is finished and ready to use! How handy and satisfyingly simple to make!
