DIY: Cap Keeper

My camera came in yesterday, but since I ordered from Amazon, and not all of the things were from the same seller, not everything came in the same shipment. One of the things I don't have yet is my cap keeper.

I, of course, want to take my camera to the LSU vs. Florida game tomorrow - it is going to be great! But I don't want to lose my camera cap, nor do I want to have my camera at the tailgates/game without a cap. So I decided to make my own cap keeper!

Here's what you'll need:
-- Lens Cap
-- Rubber Band (I used a hair band because it is black)
-- A piece of ribbon
-- Hot Glue

What you do:
1. Cut your piece of ribbon. It doesn't need to be too long, but leave room to connect it to the cap and the band
2. Loop the ribbon through the rubber band and hot glue the ribbon to itself. This way, the ribbon can move along the rubber band, but it is still secure.
3. Hot glue the other end of the ribbon to the lens cap. The lens cap is plastic, so you can always peel the hot glue off with a little bit of effort. I feel safer using glue than tape, especially for a football game.

 Now you can take pictures without worrying about losing your lens cap! Happy photographing!
