J'me disais bien que je t'avais déjà vu quelque part ; J'ADORE tes vidéos continues comme ça !

absolutely loved this video! I've been wanting to make straps for my children for a while now! this is such a creative way to do it. I just became the proud mother of a baritone ukulele, I found him at a pawn shop and got him for $20, in PERFECT condition!!!!!! I also have a concert, tenor, and soprano! I love your family of ukuleles!

So glad I decided to look at your older videos and most popular..I needed this one! I am enjoying your lessons. You're a good teacher!

I absolutely adore your solution!. I live in a caravan & I use those command hooks for all kinds of things ! The insides of cabinet/closet doors are one of my favorites. Under the sink inside walls . But I Never thought of putting them on my uke! You are my new favorite female thinker! I will send a pic.

I love your creative ideas, pretty yet simple straps. Getting my 4th ukulele today and very hopeful that I will learn to play properly and diligently!!! I just reconnect with your channel. I love your way of teaching, giving students enough time to emulate how your fingers are placed. Your ‘look up’ prompt works really well for me. Can’t wait to start for real, this time. You’re doing a great job, thank you so much.

Oh my gosh!! How did you know that I needed this 😂 I've been needing a uke strap and I'm knitting one right now, but this is so much easier!!

Good to know! I am scared to drill into my uke and was wondering about command strips.

Just a thought, if you like the way strap 2 hangs but the ease of strap 3, try putting the hook pointing down on the back of the head and hook it like you would strap 3.

Thank you! I have a northern uke - triangle shaped, and I've been trying to figure out a strap solution without drilling. This is perfect.

I like strap #2. Purchased my first ukulele today, it didn't have strap buttons and I was concerned about drilling a hole. Someone recommended Velcro and I just didn't want to do that. The Command Strip hook is so clever. I will picking up a pack of these strips tomorrow. Thanks so much Bernadette.

You're so cute, I love that you painted the hooks and then your nails the same colour and how you customise everything. I actually got a strap with my ukulele and it's really pretty but I don't wanna drill into my ukulele for a hook so this video is perfect, thank you! I'll definitely try option 2. Already tried option 1 myself but don't like how that looks either.

Thank you so much!!!! I needed a strap but I couldn’t find an easy one that didn’t require drilling holes and I only have one so I didn’t want to risk it. You’re the best!!

I like strap 2 because it seems more supportive . That said , #3 is easier to remove completely. Thanks for the video!

The hook upside down on the back of the head would be the best solution I think. Then it's all removable and the neck is supported.

My father got a ukulele as a gift but he had no interest in playing so i started learning it from your 30 day uke challenge and this video was just what i needed my ukulele was slipping so i couldn't play it properly . I amde the first strap and its so much better. A VERY BIG THANK YOU

This is brilliant! I just bought a Kala Waterman, and I love option #3 for adding a strap to my plastic uke.

#3 - I also like your tassels! The command hooks are a great idea for the lacquered ukes that don't have them and would likely be damaged by strap button installation. Really useful video! 🙂

I like the third one because you can take it off! I never thought of using command strips! Thank you!

My daughter just made strap #1 for her ukelele with a boot lace we had in the junk drawer, it works great! Thank you.

I just started playing and the Ukulele that I got was more due to opportunity however it did not come with a strap. This video is amazing and I'm learning halleluiah from another of your videos!!

I improvised a strap using an old Obie belt from a second hand market stall. Thanks for the great ideas!

I used ukulele for the first time ever in class today for the kids to sing. Then only I realized the importance of ukulele strap. Lol. Glad I found your helpful vid. Thank you! ☺

I'm a sewer, I made my own strap..love it these are great ideas.

My first ukulele has a command hook. I use an old purse strap with a small key ring at the end. It has served me well for 7 years and counting! The strap is most likely woven in Guatamala, so it looks similar to a traditional strap, just not as wide.

I used a long shoe lace from the dollar store that is about 3/4" wide to make a strap for my mandolin. I do like the command hook idea for my ukes. Great idea.

I made a strap that holds just the neck which is the only part that needs support since the body sits in my lap (I play sitting). Just wind each end around the neck and tie to the length that suits. Tying with a bow instead of a knot makes it flexible. Now I can use my left hand with my thumb behind the neck without worrying about using my left hand to hold the neck in position. Thanks for giving me this great idea.

I like these ideas and love the tassel look. I was thinking of making a strap for the head that has a loop to hook into...so the loop always stays on the head so you don't have to deal w tying and untying but can still have the angle that way.

I already had the idea to use command hooks rather that screwing in the little knob for the straps, but I really love how you thought to paint it with metallic nail polish, it really gives it a nice look, I’m going to do that too!

the command hack was so helping, and I'm literally sending this to all my uke-fan friends!

Hi, Bernadette! Love your channel! Thank you for this DIY video. I made your second strap and really like it. Using a Command Strip is brilliant. You’re an excellent teacher! 😉

Those were cute! I have already placed a hole and strap lock buckle button/screws in all of my ukes. I bought inexpensive guitar straps online and I'm happy with them. I'm not sure if I would've used the adhesive hooks, but they definitely are practical without the difficulty of making a hole ((especially if you ~don't~ have a drill but you ~do~ have neighbours to disturb with a hammer)). Yours are cute.

Your command hook hack was perfect for my uncommonly shaped Zither Heaven Banjolele! Thank you!

You gave me some very good ideas I have 4 ukuleles that as only one strap button I will get myself some hooks thank you my friend all my best Ramon

I love how creative you get with style! Something I did to make the knots pretty is cord wrapping the tails of yarn upwards with embroidery thread. Gives the ukelele a nice framing and u can get as extra as u want with making stripes or an ombré of color :) Tons of vids on how to wrap cord if u dont know wtf im talking about lol.

The command strips and shoelace method worked perfectly! Thanks !

I just made one from shoe lace, works fine and looks cute! Thank you very much for sharing!

Thank you very much for the very useful video, Bernadette. I have a concert and think that I will try type 2. I need a good ukulele balance (since mine is awful!) and thus doesn't block the sound hole

Excellent ideas & information Bernadette!

I've been looking for a way to get around drilling a peg. Thank you. I'm excited to try out the command hook.

Yesssss! I love the t-shirt yarn idea and the tassels they make are perfect!

Love the designs on the 3rd ukulele. Looks adorable. 😍😍

Love your videos. They are so upbeat!! My uke is on its way.

You seriously are my hero. Thank you. This is beyond brilliant!!! And I do think you can put one of those pretty Uke or guitar straps on that. Thank you for sharing this great life hack!! 🥰🤙

love that the strap matches your pink hair! all your vids are very useful.

Your hair looks great like this Bernadette. Really appreciate your ukelele lessons and product reviews! Keep them coming please.

Second one's my favourite, I like the tassles too, it's the prettiest :)

I found this video super helpful. I like 2 and 3 the best. I’ve never used command hooks before but I’ll definitely try them!

This is great! I am sharing it with the members of my uke club!!! Thank you!!

Hi, watched a few of your video's already and this one was great! as I didn't want to "DRILL" into my Twisted Wood Ukulele. I am a south paw, so I had a false start with playing right handed and causing myself severe wrist pain. The strap helps a lot.

Thank you so much! I made a strap following your tutorial and I love it!

Thanks for all the creative DIY videos!!!

I just bought an Oscar Schmidt ou5ek, no strap buttons on it. I'm in the middle of the 30 day challenge also. Looks like my teacher has tips on everything! Thanks for the command strip idea! I will try that out.

Thanks for the great ideas. I just bought a transparent Waterman ukulele and was trying to think of how to add a strap. Clear Command hooks should do the job without breaking up the transparency of the uke. Then I add a clear plastic strap and I’m good to go!

I tried all three and the 2nd and 3rd are awesome. I think I prefer the 2nd only because it’s more stable when it’s on your back

I loved the command hook idea!! I've never thought about that

Hi,Ime thinking of buying a Kala KA-STGE-C Tenor Electro Ukulele,and it hasn't got any strap buttons,and I don't want to risk making holes in it in case the sound changes,so this is a great help in helping me to decide what Ime going to do!

I made a first version strap but because I sew, I made bias tape and added buttons and button holes to put it in place, so that I don't have to tie it. I don't really like it however because the part at the "waist" bothers me when I am playing. So maybe it would be a good idea to try that with the other options but instead of tying the ends I would put on a button on the part at the top of the uke (for the 2nd version), and then just a buttonhole to go in the hook(s). Just sharing the idea for all the sewing lovers :) Be careful though, if you do the 2nd version, put the button hole at the very end of the strap, and the button higher, because you won't be able to make the button go behind the strings.

Yes! It’s a simple solution for the people who don’t want to drill into their ukes! I didn’t think of this, though. I was in a music teacher forum when someone shared that tip ☺️

Do you know how helpful this video is? 😍 Especially at 8:27 where you did a little demo of mini-walking! So cute. I just bought a clear/transparent ukulele and was thinking of ways to put a strap on without drilling the side (it’s acrylic, I can’t drill it even if I wanted to). The mini hook is a perfect DIY tip! It won’t damage my uke. Also, I could actually get a proper uke strap to go with it, if I decide not to make the strap myself. Heheeee. Thank you! 😍😭

I went with the shoe lace idea. It was easy, and it works great for me, but it's a little uncomfortable. I might try the t shirt idea, looks like it would be more comfortable.Thanks for the video. It was a big help.

Great idea! Ya look so cute ! Making option 3 ASAP!

The Command hooks worked great!

I needed this video. I have been drilling holes and attaching screws and washers for years.

I like the command strip idea, looks like it would work really well,.......i bet pink is your favorite color, lol😀, thanks for the great tips and video.

Love these ideas, definitely going to try 2 & 3 of the demonstrations 😁

When I bought my first uke about a month ago, I picked it because of how it sounded, not realizing a strap might be necessary. This is a perfect solution, and I even have command hooks in the junk drawer. Planning on weaving a pretty strap at some point.

Fantastic ... I love your ideas for making your own straps. I have eight ukes, all with different straps but I now wanna make my own original one with something special. The "command strip" idea is also cool as I have had to drill my ukes to fit button ... love love love this cool video, and also love love LOVE your pink hair . :)

Awesome ideas! And really pretty!

This was super helpful! Thank you :-) I'm gonna try strap2, but I agree that having it hanging off the front isn't ideal, but I'm just going to loop the end of the strap through hole at the bottom so it can be easily removed.

That’s great, I was just looking at straps which are $30 (aud) but need a hole drilling. Gonna give it a try 👍🏼 The 2nd one is my fav.

Thank you for the idea. I like the last two ideas

I was just about to buy one, thanks for inspiration to make my own.

I love the fact that your hair matches the strap, and your nails match the hooks. You are always thinking about the esthetics of the situation! :) As for the straps, I am only having trouble holding my soprano. I don't have trouble supporting my concert ukulele or the tenors that I have played (I don't own one... yet!). But the soprano is just so little for me, I can't seem to get myself scrunched up enough to hold it securely with my left arm so that my right is free to move from one chord to certain others where I feel like I need to let go of the neck end to get my fingers into position. I kind of hesitate to do anything, because I know I am not the first person to be met with this problem! But rather than get frustrated by this, I am looking at a half-strap or uke leash that someone makes just to hold the neck end without needing to be attached to the other end (it attaches to the player instead). I'm hoping it will help in this situation without causing me to develop bad habits. I don't intend to use it on the larger ukes, so I think I will be ok. But I am not going to dye my hair pink. :)

That command strip idea is brilliant!!!

Excellent straps ! Thanks !

Strap #3 loos the best - love the color
