Custom Camera Bag - Complete GoPro Kit

This instructable will show you an inexpensive and easy way to make a custom case for carrying a GoPro Hero camera and equipment, but the idea could be applied to many other things.  I have a bad habit of just throwing everything into one bag, but since the lens on my new Eye of Mine flat lens underwater housing is prone to scratches I decided it was time to get organized.

I was going to buy a hard case (I've heard of people buying things like cheap handgun carriers), or re-purposing an empty drill case, but the GoPro is already somewhat durable so I really wanted this more for organization than protection.  Here were my goals:
1) Small, comfortable, and convenient to carry around and travel with
2) Protect lenses and other equipment
3) Keep all of my goodies well-organized
4) Doesn't say "there's something expensive in this bag"

Step 1 Collect materials and supplies

To duplicate this you will need the following:
1) Bag, case, or box in need of re-purposing (thanks to my uncle for a cool retro leather bag)
2) Block of foam, you choose the hardness (I had some lying around, but a craft store will usually have this)
3) X-acto knife or similar cutting tool
4) Marker to draw out your plan
