Make a Lens Creature

Monday February 20, 2012
They're cute, they make kids smile, and they are super easy to make. What are they? Lens creatures of course! You can call them lens pals, camera pets, or any one of a dozen other names but whatever you call them they are one of the hottest accessories for children's photography.

Whether you know how to sew or need a no sewing option, we've got the instructions for you. A few cheap supplies (total project cost under $5) and you'll have a new way to get the kids to look at the camera during photo sessions.
