How to Bling Out Your CampSnap Camera with Rhinestones
I already loved my CampSnap camera for its nostalgic, disposable-camera-inspired vibe and screen-free design. It's perfect for capturing memories at concerts, camps, vacations and more without staring at your phone all day!
But after giving mine a little DIY bling makeover, I love it even more. ✨ Now, my camera isn't just something I carry to take photos—it's a one-of-a-kind accessory! Get my full CampSnap review here if you are wondering what a CampSnap is!

How I Made a Cute Wristlet for My CampSnap Camera
I decided to customize my CampSnap with large and mini rhinestones and charms to give it a fun, sparkly look. Here's how I did it:
Make Your CampSnap Camera One of a Kind with This DIY
Step 1: Add the rhinestones.
Using Aleene's Liquid Fusion glue, I added small amounts of glue to the camera and used a wax tip pencil to easily pick up and place each rhinestone. I started with the large rhinestones and bow first, then placed the small rhinestones. The larger rhinestones were easily put in place with my fingers. Take your time and create your own pattern—or just add sparkle wherever you want it!
I used a pointy cotton swab to wipe away any glue messes.

Step 2: Let it dry.
After adding all my rhinestones, I let everything dry overnight so the bling had plenty of time to adhere.

Step 3: Add a wristlet and charms.
Once the rhinestones were secure, I added a colorful friendship-style bracelet and charms to turn my camera into an even cuter wristlet accessory. I love that I can carry it as part of my outfit!
The Cutest Blinged-Out Camera Accessory Idea..I love how turned out!
The best part? You can customize your camera to match your personality, favorite colors, outfit or event. I styled mine with a simple jeans-and-white-tee concert look, and the added sparkle made the whole outfit feel a little more fun!
