Cada día surgen miles de cámaras y dispositivos que nos ofrecen no solo la posibilidad de hacer fotografías, sino de mejorar nuestras tomas con tan solo unos clics. A la par, un pequeño pero sustancioso grupo de personas se han volcado hacia la fotografía análoga con el fin de lograr efectos como los que nos ofrecen aplicaciones como Instagram, pero con el verdadero efecto que ejerce la luz sobre la película fotosensible. Con el objetivo de mostrarles lo sencilla (y hermosa) que puede ser la fotografía, hemos compilado una lista de 6 cámaras de papel que reflejan la pureza de éste arte.

Pugly Pixel’s DIY Calling Cards
Greetings, Glitter Girls! It’s Katrina from Pugly Pixel . I’m happy to share an easy tutorial that will show you how to make your own confetti calling cards. Last year, my friend Margaret from Paper Pastries wrote a post about DIY Calling Cards made with a customizable stamp kit (you know — those stamp kits that are sold at office supply stores like Staples and Office Depot). Her cards turned out adorably, so I decided to follow suit and make my own using supplies I already had on hand: business card-sized glassine envelopes and colorful tissue paper.Would you believe that this amazing artichoke-like light is made from scrap paper, a rice paper lantern, and glue? I know – pretty awesome, right? Graphic designer, Gabrielle Guy , created this stunning light for a friend using an old leftover lantern and a bunch of scrap paper that she had on hand. The project cost next to nothing, but the result is something that looks like a million bucks!

In the spirit of this month’s Design*Sponge travel theme, let’s take a lesson in leather hand sewing that we can use for a passport cover or just about any small case-like thing you can think of. Hand sewing leather is easy, but a few key steps will make it even easier.It’s really starting to feel like fall, and whether or not that means back to school for you, fall always seems to mean new supplies . Don’t forget your electronics this season, so you can whip up a cozy little wool sleeve for your laptop or tablet! In this project, you’ll learn how to install a zipper around a curve, which really isn’t difficult to do, I promise.
