You can’t always stomach a big price tag. So you enjoy it when you can figure something out and make it work for you. Here’s how to make a camera bag out of a thrift store bag and an old piece of cloth you have lying around the house.

If you feel like having a bag within a bag for your perfect camera, here is how to make it. Make sure you have the right fabric of an old dress you haven’t worn for ages, and transform it into a bag within a bag. Make sure you use the same size and shape as the original bag and enjoy it to the max!

Most camera bags are excessive, especially if you only need a little more protection when strolling around or are bringing a camera in another bag for a short trip. A rigid liner is great for making a structured camera with soft fabric for a more protective wrap. You’ll end up having a pocket with a flap in this manner. You’ve completed the task!

Sling Type
