DIY: webcam jelly cover

-
EN

Long time no DIY! But today I bring you guys a short DIY post that is hopefully handy as well as in private and feel-safe terms: a webcam cover made out of jelly!

I know I might sound a slight paranoid with a feeling that someone might be spying through my laptop webcam (the hacking issues nowadays..) without me knowing it – so therefore I prefer having something to cover up my webcam. Just to feel more safe and secure.

Before this, I use this round sticker as my cover but with the thing with stickers, they’ll lose its stickiness. Especially when I put it back on and off all the time. So I came up to use a jelly type of material because with jelly it can easily removed and put back on without losing it stickiness!
For this I’ve used this jelly sticker that I’ve bought at Action, but you can easily find them at any craft shops and toy shops!

I hope you’ll try out this DIY of mine!

Wat een lange tijd geen DIY artikelen meer van mij! Maar vandaag breng ik jullie een korte DIY artikel die hopelijk ook handig is voor jullie in de term van privacy en veilig computeren, namelijk: een webcam dekking gemaakt van jelly!

Ik klink misschien een beetje paranoïde met een gevoel dat iemand mij zou kunnen bespioneren via mijn laptop webcam (het hackprobleem van tegenwoordig...) zonder dat ik weet - dus daarom geef ik de voorkeur om iets voor mijn webcam te houden.

Hiervoor gebruikte ik deze ronde sticker als mijn dekking, maar het probleem met stickers is dat zij op ten duur niet meer goed plakken. Vooral als ik hem hele tijd af en op doe. Zo kwam ik tot een idee om een soort jellyachtig soort materiaal te gebruiken omdat jelly of gelei makkelijk te verwijderen is en het plakt gemakkelijk weer op! Met het behouden van de ‘plakheid’ c:
Hiervoor heb ik jelly sticker gebruikt die ik bij de Action heb gekocht. Maar wellicht ook te vinden bij andere hobbyzaak, speelgoedzaak en of zelfs de Bruna.

Ik hoop dat je deze DIY uitprobeert!

You'll need: jelly stickers, a round pen cap, any desired nailpolish color 
1. Cut a round circle with a pen cap! 

2. Polish it with a nice color or in my case glittery nailpolish! (I've used many coatings)

    Ik blijf het griezelig vinden dat iemand je zou zitten te bekijken via je eigen ingebouwde webcam. Brr. Maar dit is een goeie oplossing, en ziet er ietjes fancier uit dan mijn stukje masking tape ;)

    Now that is awesome! You are so not paranoid! I use a stick cover myself, too. You hear all these creepy stories about people hacking ones webcams and even baby cams being hacked! I can't believe these people and why they would do it.

    I hope you got my email about you winning the gift certificate! I sent your information along to JORD. x

    Haha I used to stick stickers on my webcam as well! I was never comfortable with video calls anyway, whether or not it be with someone I'm close to. I always feel so awkward talking to my computer hahha -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's

    Glittery cover, what a cute idea! Do you leave your latptop normally covered or do you stick it only when you are using it?

But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media.
