5 minute Shock-Resistant Camera Case for Under $5

Step 2 Make a Template

The easiest way to make a template is to put your camera on a piece of paper, and fold the paper up around it, creasing along the edges.  When you uncrease the paper, you'll have your stitching lines.

The second picture shows me folding the paper up along the bottom of the camera.  You don't necessarily want it to go all the way to the top edge of the camera.  Think of an envelope - the extra open space at the top makes it easier to remove the contents.

Crease the edges too so you know how deep to make the case.

Fold the top down and crease where you want the edge of that to be.  (third picture)

Unfold, and mark where your creases were.  Notice in picture 4 how much space is on each side of the camera.  This will allow the fabric - pardon me - squishy stuff to bend around the edges of the camera without being too tight.
