Photojojo has a great new project to unbrand your camera strap by creating a custom fabric cover. I was planning to buy something new (like this clever seat belt strap Photojojo also sells), but making my own cover seems like an even better way to go. Time to break out the sewing machine!
I love paper. Love, love, love. While is why I needed to post right away after stumbling across these gorgeous paper templates. Vale Design created a mini-file folder template (above), while HowPack houses a treasure trove of packaging designs. Erin Vale suggests scanning fabrics and printing them along with the templates onto cardstock, which would also work well for any of the plain HowPack designs.
