Straight Edge

First, carefully take the cover off of the disposable camera. You will be using this for a template. Carefully trace and cut out your pattern.
|
|
|
Next, stamp the cover as desired. When stamping the image try to visualize how the cover is going to wrap around the camera. You may need to stamp in the opposite direction on part of it so that when you reattach it your stamped image isn’t upside down.
|
|
|
You will need to use you a bone folder and a straight edge to make crisp edges so that your cover will wrap around neatly.
|
|
|
The last step is to reattach the new cover to your camera using an adhesive. And there you have it a one of a kind gift.

While making this one of a kind Father’s Day gift, let your imagination lead you to all the other possibilities this could be used for. This camera could be used for a variety of different gifts such as a graduation gift, a baby shower gift, or a wedding gift.
