Steps

Prepare the Camera
Start by cleaning the camera thoroughly. Remove any dust, dirt, or old film.
Disassemble the Camera
Carefully disassemble the camera using a screwdriver. Remove all internal components while preserving the outer shell intact.
Modify the Camera Shell
Using a utility knife or rotary tool, cut an opening on the top or back of the camera shell. This opening should be large enough for a tissue to be pulled through easily.
Smooth the Edges
Use sandpaper to smooth the edges of the opening. This will prevent any rough edges from damaging the tissues.
Insert the Tissues
Place a small tissue box or a roll of tissues inside the camera. Ensure the tissues can be pulled through the opening smoothly.
Reassemble Parts if Necessary
Reattach any parts of the camera that were removed but do not interfere with the tissue holder function. This will help preserve the authentic look of the camera.
Final Touches
Perform a final cleaning and possibly add any decorative touches you feel are necessary to complete the transformation.
