No I did not create the original tutorial. I found it here at Pink stitches which I found at Craft Gossip... If you don't know about Craft Gossip, you should! And yes... you may just hate me for showing you.
I made this little orange camera for my niece's 3rd birthday gift. My sister (her mother) is a professional photographer. Her response on seeing the camera? "It says Canon on it because it is well made!" :P Can you tell what brand all her cameras are? :P
I made a few changes to the tutorial. I used black fabric for the front circle as well as a vinal circle and stitched them on together. It really helps the look.. in my opinion.
I also added a few more buttons to make it look more like her mom's cameras.
All of the buttons are machine sewed but I double knotted the threads on each side to help keep the buttons in firm position because her little sister is only 6 months old and puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. Gotta keep the baby safe!
I also left the top of the clear back piece open so that she can change the pictures out if she wants. What do you think?

Have a great day and just say no to Captcha! Btw thats not me being "snarky") I am just being totally honest. Things apparently get taken out of context when tone of voice is not a part of a conversation (Like comments!) . I am sorry if this is not relevant to your blog post, just didn't know where else to write it. Thanks to Learning to Limit for being rude about it though... I am totally not trying to be rude at all. Just 100% honest. I always am. (Ms Learning to Limit told me my comment was "snarky, rude & irrelevant" (I wrote the same comment on her blog.) Im sorry, but when commenting on 80 blogs, with 4 reviews due, i just simply don't have time to read and comment on everyone's blogs relevantly. I have 2 kids to raise! I hope you understand, please do not do like her and be rude...
Cute!
ReplyDeletewow GK- yeah.. I'm not a fan of the captia either.. unless you have a sudden rash of spam comments. Otherwise it is pointless and annoying!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a Give-away blog reader... I just don't have the time. I haven't read my regular blogs in almost a week!
I'll try and comment for you. If my computer doesn't die! Thanks for the comment & glad you liked the camera!
