Hello, Hive Creatives! Today I bring you a beautiful camera made of paper that is perfect to give today to that special person you love so much; remember that it is always a good time to give a detail and it never hurts a little surprise made by ourselves. Here is the detailed step by step, I hope you like it ❤️
PROCESO // PROCESS
The first thing we will do will be the sketch of the camera; we will draw it on a paper that is not too thin, but not too thick, I recommend that in this case you use cardboard or watercolor paper, with either of the two will be perfect.
After that, we paint it in the color we want, outline it and when it is ready, we cut it all around the edge. It should look like this:
After having it in this shape, we trace its outline on another piece of cardboard and cut it out.
We already have the first part of the camera ready and now comes the most difficult part, which are the photos:
For the photos we will make two glued squares of 4cm wide and 5.5cm long and at the end, we will add 1cm more, which you will see what it is for. The figure should look like this:
After this, what we will do is to fold it inwards following the lines we made, we glue it only on the upper part and it should look like this:
In my case I made three more, because I wanted to portray three photos, but you can add as many as you want. When we finish gluing all the pictures, we can add whatever we want, whether it is a photo, a sticker, or even draw something, which is what I did.
I thought it was nicer to draw the photos than to print and paste them, but as I said, that's up to each person.
After this, we cut a long strip and we put it in this way through the upper part of the square, leaving the ends of the strip outside.
Once we have it like this, we are going to put the strip through the next square, but on the back side, so we can flip it over and the image will be on the front side, like this:
The remaining part of the strip, we are going to fold it in this way:
Así debe quedar:
Then, we make a small figure that will be glued to the top of the last photo.
This is how it should look:
After this, I made another frame like the ones at the beginning and a strip as well. I added this one below the first picture I made, because this one should be glued to the back of the camera (the figure we traced and cut out) so we can take the pictures without any problems.
Nos debe quedar asi:
We glue that part and glue the top of the camera only on the sides.
It should look like this:
And, the idea of this, is that when you pull where it says "pull" it looks like this💕.
And that's it. I hope you liked the tutorial, I'll be back with more very soon!
Thanks for reading and watching.
