camera holder

This handy camera holder is made from a bubble wrap mailing package and red duct tape.
The bubble wrap is already 10% recycled so, that means that it is now 110% recycled!

how to make your own:
1. Cut bubble wrap to size of object. This is a lot like wrapping a present. Make sure you have enough around the edges to provide a seam. I think 1 inch is good.

2. Wrap the bottom and tape. Fold the two sides in and then the opposing sides and secure with duct tape. Also, tape the side seam. Hardware stores usually have a nice variety of duct tape colors.

3. Leave one end open for the flap. Extend the flap with tape. The closure is duct tape too. It sticks but doesn't completely adhere to itself so, it is perfect for a resealable tab.
