Sparkle
Craft is a store containing cute, rockin' accessories for hipsters,
rock stars & dorks at heart. All the neato guitar straps, belts
& accessories found on this website are sweat-shop free, vegan
and made in Austin, TX. Sparkle Craft started in May 2001 and is
operated by me - Tina Sparkles. I design and make every single cute
item myself. It is really important
that your goodies are top quality -- I can't sleep at night if they not
perfect and I want you to jump for joy when you open your package, so if
you are ever unhappy with your amazing guitar strap, belt or accessory,
you can always get a refund or exchange it! I will still love you!
Read some customer
confessionals if you have a moment.
Sparkle
Craft is Earth and animal friendly - most of my packing supplies are
recycled and the leather on items like guitar straps are made with vegan
leather. I try to price items in my store
reasonably - taking into consideration, supplies, labor, shipping, etc.-
and I ship your items as fast as humanly possible once they are made.
I know it is tough not to just hop on over to Wal-Mart, Target or other
large corporate outlet to get accessories and clothing quicker and at
lower prices, but I want to encourage you to support small, independent
businesses when you can. It really means a lot! Sparkle
Craft supports women-owned business, bands, musicians, labels, art, zines,
media, etc., so please email me and let me know what you are up to.
I'd be happy to add you to my links page! Oh man, what am I saying?
I totally support dudes who are doing great things, too!
Thank
you for supporting independent design and business. I LOVE YOU! You
rule my world! xoxoxo

Vegan leather is a leather
alternative that contains no animal materials or products. It is a
textile called microfibre and is just as ding dang sturdy as
leather.
|
|
I hand make each guitar strap
from scratch-a-roo! I use poly/nylon webbing to back pretty, yummy
fabrics and attach vegan leather attachments with plastic slides.
Fancy, huh?!
|
|
You betcha!
These suckers will hold up a semi-truck. OK, maybe not....but they
are definitely not wimpy. My guitar straps are backed with strong
poly/nylon webbing and the ends fit super-snug on your guitar.

|
Schoolyard Heroes rockin' Sparkle Craft straps! |
Here's what the ends look like. |
|
Yes. My guitar straps
will adjust up to 60 inches and down to around 30 inches.. Perfect
for kids and big dudes alike! If you need your guitar strap longer
than 60 inches, just let me know when you place your order!
|
|
Both! My guitar straps
will fit on any guitar with strap buttons. If your acoustic guitar
does not have strap buttons, just let me know in the 'special message'
field when you place your order, and I will include matching string
attachments to tie around the neck of your guitar.
|
|
No, I'm not taking any custom
requests at this time.
|
|
I get my fabric from all over
the place - fabric stores, flea markets, Ebay, etc. etc.! I've been
collecting it forever.
