Felt camera

Recently I made a felt camera for a birthday present. I was planning on including loads of details, but kind of ended up getting carried away by it all. I started off with just a cuboid of felt and went on to add buttons and the lens. I think it came out really well and I was kind of upset I had to give it away! It was also crazy cheap, as the felt is from a local scrap centre where you can get 3 stacks of felt cut offs that can be really small or really big. I actually just generally love working with it because the colours are so natural and I just love the way I don't have to bother with edging it or doing using pinking shears. So with all that here it is:

Back of the camera. I put in dials and even a strip of Velcro supposed to be a film strip!

Front of camera. Flash and buttons. Even put on a brown leather strap and all the dials,

I based my designs off the Leica cameras. Not only are they really expensive but they are generally really pretty so I just really loved doing my camera design off this. It was really cool and I made the pattern off a few rough sketches. If you all want a pattern I might think of posting one. But it is quite personal and it takes so long to make, so its definitely not for the faint hearted. So if you really want it just comment below.
