Description

This is just a little project i made as a gift to a friend of mine who loves cameras and photography. I hope you enjoy my tutorial. :)

Instructions

  1. Small imag0249

    Gather all the polymer clay, you can make the grey clay like i did or you can choose to buy some.

  2. Small imag0252

    Take a little bit of black clay for later on and put aside, roll the rest of the clay into a ball then shape into a solid rectangle, this is the main part of the camera. So size it how ever big you want the camera to be.

  3. Small imag0253

    Divide the grey clay into three pieces, roll two into 'sausages' and put one aside. Make a small white square to be used in the next step.

  4. Small imag0254

    Attach the sausages to the camera and cut off the excess. press the sausages gently until the are almost flat. attach the white square as shown.

  5. Small imag0256

    Roll four balls, one large-ish black one, one smaller white one, an even smaller black one and a tiny white one. this makes the lense. attach all on top of each other and flatten slightly as shown.

  6. Small imag0257

    Attach this lense to the camera.

  7. Small imag0258

    Make two white squares as shown, the larger is for the screen so make it how ever big you want the screen to be.

  8. Small imag0263

    Roll a piece of the black clay until its slmost flat, cut it into triangles and set aside.

  9. Small imag0261

    Attach all the little tringles from step 8 as shown.

  11. Small imag0267

    Attach all pieces to the camera and place a tiny black square on the little white square as shown.

  12. Small imag0269

    Attach a little grey circle on the bottom of the camera for extra detail. i did this in step 6 but thought i would add it anyway :)

  13. Small imag0272

    Roll a smal black ball and a little grey ball. flatten the smaller ball on top of the larger and attach to camera for the 'button'.

  14. Small imag0273
