How to Fix a Ripped Nylon Backpack Strap

If your backpack strap is not fully removed, cut the threads holding the strap to the backpack, or gently pull threads out.

Cut the ripped or damaged part of your strap with scissors.

Take a lighter and safely burn the ends of the backpack strap slightly.

Place the strap into the area where it will be reattached and hold it in place using a pin.

Cut your thread generously and run the thread through the needle.

Make a knot at the end by looping the thread around your finger and inserting the thread into the loop.

Do this twice.

Insert the needle through the backpack strap and pull it through.

From the backside of the backpack, insert the needle to the right of the original insertion.

From the front, insert the needle a little to the left of the original insertion and pull it through to create a backhand stitch.

After repeating the process run the needle through the back of one of your seams.

Pull the thread through the created loop and pull to create a knot. Do this twice.

Cut the access string and remove the pin.
