Gather all the polymer clay, you can make the grey clay like i did or you can choose to buy some.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Attach this lense to the camera.
Make two white squares as shown, the larger is for the screen so make it how ever big you want the screen to be.
Roll a piece of the black clay until its slmost flat, cut it into triangles and set aside.
Roll two grey balls, gently flatten the larger ball and place the smaller on top.
Attach all the little tringles from step 8 as shown.
Attach all pieces to the camera and place a tiny black square on the little white square as shown.
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 :)
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'.
Push in the tiny screw and then remove to bake. Bake according to packet instructions and then allow to cool.
Once cool, re-insert the screw and glue on your favourite photo.
And your finished! Enjoy! :)
