Heart Bokeh

I was fooling around with my camera and made a 'bokeh cover' for it. I held it up to the lens instead of taping it to a hood. It turned out amazing! I think I might use it for a Valentine's Day blog design and/or card!  :)

Tutorial: How To Make A "Bed Rest" For Your Camera

Hi, Everyone! Today, I will be showing you how to make a camera bed rest that you can put on your desk!

Let's Get Started!

You'll Need. . .

-A Camera

-Cardboard {off of anything--I used a Ritz box}

-Fabric

-Needle and Thread

First, trace a rectangle around your camera, about half an inch from the camera on all sides from the cardboard.

Do the same with the fabric twice, but this time half an inch on all sides around the cardboard piece.

Now, sew both pieces of fabric together with the cardboard in between them.

                                                              The master piece sewed completely. :)

                                              I put it on my desk so when I upload pictures, it won't get
                                                                       scratched on the glass.                                        

There you have it! A fun bed rest for your camera! :) Thanks for reading! Make sure to comment if you made it or liked it!
