5 minute Shock-Resistant Camera Case for Under $5

Step 4 Add Velcro

Before you sew the sides shut, you want to make sure to add your closure.

Sticky velcro will not cut it, not for one second.  Well, it will for the first second, but after you open it once, you're done.

So cut a piece of sew-on velcro about 1" big.  Sew it to the outside of the bottom flap and the inside of the top flap.  If this is confusing, just fold the squishy stuff around your camera like it will be when it's finished.  You'll see where the velcro needs to go.  Or look at the picture.

If you're sewing by hand, go forth.  If you're sewing by machine, you'll need something to help the squishy stuff slide over the feed dogs.  The solution: paper! 

Get the scraps of paper from the pattern you cut out, and place one between the squishy stuff and the sewing machine.

Sew sew sew, and then gently tear the paper away from the case.
