Description

Change the look of your camera to suit your style, just as often as you change your film, with an adorable washi tape makeover.

Instructions

  1. Small 108368 2f2015 04 15 091818 img 4682

    Pick out some washi tape which you thing will suit your camera's style.

  2. Small 108368 2f2015 04 15 091823 img 4683

    Cut a long strip wide enough to fit the bottom edge of your camera and trim the edges to size.

  3. Small 108368 2f2015 04 15 091828 img 4686

    Continue working your way up the camera, stopping to cut out holes for the lens, flash and buttons.

  4. Small 108368 2f2015 04 15 092225 img 4688

    Make sure to keep the tape neat and straight while you work your way up the camera.

  5. Small 108368 2f2015 04 15 092251 img 4690

    For smaller buttons, you can tape over them and then carefully cut the shape from the tape and remove it.

  6. Small 108368 2f2015 04 15 092302 img 4691

    Keep going until you've finished your first coat.

  7. Small 108368 2f2015 04 15 092311 img 4693

    Add a second coat to make the pattern pop and hide the lines where the tape strips meet.

  8. Small 108368 2f2015 04 15 092322 img 4694

    Make sure you've cut away any tape that's covering instructions, settings and dials.
