Types of Cameras & Materials for Making a Camera Bag

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Candi Cane Canncel for Expert Village. So in this clip, we are going to go over different types of materials that you can use for creating your camera bag as well as different types of cameras. I'm basically going to show you how to create a bag for a digital camera that tends to be really small. In this case, mine is a little bit thicker than a lot of the new ones that are out there, that are very very thin. This project you can just change it around to fit any type of camera whether if you have an old vintage Polaroid like this which is a little bit bigger. Or even just this type of Polaroid that is a little bit skinner and longer just adjust the measurements accordingly and then you'll be able to create it. The other thing I want to take into consideration is the materials that you use for a camera bag. Ideally you want it to use something that is waterproof just in case water gets on it so it will protect your camera inside and your camera won't be effected. So for my camera bag I'm going to be using a vinyl and this vinyl is pretty soft vinyl that's just woven back. A lot of times at your local fabric stores you'll find the thicker vinyl that is a flannel back or felt back and that is also fine. You can use that it will give you a little extra protection. But I like to use the woven back one cause that way you don't have to line it cause it looks just as good on the inside. You also can use a heavy weight nylon or even a canvass duck to use your camera bag. If you do go with something isn't waterproof, just buy yourself a waterproofing spray to spray down before you stitch it and you'll be good to go."
