Steps
-
Use black dough to make a large rectangular block and a smaller thick circle. Place the circle in the center of the rectangle to make the camera body.
-
Roll a long strip of white dough and wrap it around the black circle until the ends meet, finishing the lens.
-
Make a small, flat rectangle of white dough and place it on top of the large black block.
-
Make a small rectangular block from black dough and a slightly smaller rectangle from yellow dough. Place the yellow rectangle in the center of the black one. Stand both on top of the white rectangle from step 3, facing the same way as the lens.
-
Attach the LEDs to make the camera's flash: push the long legs into the yellow rectangle and the short legs into the black camera body.
-
Roll a ball of black dough and keep it apart from the camera. Push the reed switch's black wire into the black rectangle on top of the camera and its red wire into the dough ball. Push the battery holder's black wire into the camera body and its red wire into the black dough ball. Turn on the battery holder, then tap the magic wand on the reed switch to fire the camera's flash.
