A Fresh New Novelty Gift Idea.

PaperShoot is the newest generation of Toy Cameras, with roots found in Diana and LOMO, previous pioneers in the toy camera industry.

Paper Shoot has all the function and capability of a camera. Additionally, it is entirely eco-friendly. They are made of recycled paper and non toxic chemicals to keep children safe and save our Mother Nature. The paper is laced with the seed coreopsis tinctoria (for the chrysanthium flower). You can bury it in the earth if you are completely done using your camera. Most interestingly, the paper camera design can be switched out and customized as a gift.
