Last year I designed this chevron holga camera for my shop! It was tons of fun and since we no longer produce them for the shop I thought I'd teach you how to make your very own.

, masking tape, indoor/outdoor paint, paint brush, acrylic sealer (optional). 2. Tape off your camera in a chevron pattern! 3. Paint the exposed face of your camera. Be sure to use a small brush for detailed, clean edges. Repeat with more coats of paint if you need to. 4. Remove tape and touch up edges of the lines. Use a coat of acrylic sealer if you want for extra protection! ♥ I painted a bunch of Holga cameras for my wedding. I used these same supplies and method and added some handpainted details too! I hope you have fun painting your very own Holga camera! It's fun having a one-of-a-kind camera. XO. elsie
