Vintage Camera Mini Album

You asked...I delivered. The pattern for this mini album is now available for sale from my blog at www.butterbeescraps.com. Just check out the "Patterns & Such" tab for details.

I was inspired to create this album after watching Laura Denison's videos on her birdhouse, wall clock, suitcase, sewing box, and every other kind of box mini...except for a camera!

I hope I can inspire at least a few, and the rest of you just plain enjoy watching this video!

I just love this video. i was wondering how you made the accordion part for your camera lens. I have been trying to figure it out for a while now and just don't get it.

Do you have a tutorial on how to make that specific part of your album?

@tatteredrosestudios The bellows is the trickiest part of this mini, and it's not easy to explain. I did create it from one piece of cardstock cut using a bunch of funky angles. It took a fair bit of math to figure out the angles so that it ended up the correct size. I am in the process of writing a pattern for this album, and will post a video when it is available - unfortunately, life has gotten in the way lately, so I can't make any guarantees as to when it will be complete.

I have this paper and love it.. I just wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. I am a photographer, so that is why I got it, but this project is just beautiful.. I love it. I was wondering if take some boxes and stacking them would work for the bellow? Or just making paper boxes? I know it should look like an accordion, but just playing around with some ideas... your work is awesome.
