I recently ordered this Jelly Lens set (for super cheap), it was an impulse purchase, but a really fun one! These tiny plastic lenses are made for point and shoot cameras and cell phones. They have a little jelly ring that sticks to your phone, over the lens. They didn't always stay attached to my phone, so I held them on there most of the time. Here are a few of my favorite lenses from this set…
Heart Frame: This lens is my favorite! It doesn't exactly look like a heart, but I like the red frame a whole lot!
Soft Lens: This was another favorite. I love the extreme blur.
Starburst: I like this lens too. The blur creates a fun starburst effect. I'll probably use this one a lot.
Vignette: This blur is totally different. It creates the look of motion in the blurred areas.
Wide Angle: I'll be honest, this wide angle is WEIRD! It's very difficult to choose a point of focus, but still kinda fun…
Antique: This lens is super yellow and has a fun retro feel. Very 1970s. I kinda like it…. I don't know… kinda.
6 Image Mirage: This lens replicates your point of focus six times (this image was of one dandylion) It's fun and different, no?
(This can also be a little creepy… beware!)
Polorized: A polorizing filter can help skies appear darker and reduce glare. I always avoid taking photos of the sky with my phone because they are usually too blown out (appearing white) so this is pretty useful! I can't wait to use this filter to take some photos of my store windows because they always have crazy glare.
I had fun playing around with these! If you wanna pick up a lens, you can find them individually on Amazon
or in a big pack on eBay. I bought the big pack for around $12. Some of them are better than others, the ones I shared above are my personal favorites. I'm a sucker for camera phone toys! xo. elsie

This is so awesome! I’m considering buying, but do you know if they’re only for certain phones? I have a Droid 2, and most of the ones I find online say that they’re for HTC or iPhone. Just curious!
Thats awesome – My husband bought a wide angle lens for his iphone on ebay from some shop in Asia. It has a magnet ring that you glue to the case (he bought a cheap case to use separately for this) It’s crazy how cool all those little phone camera accessories are. He has made some pretty sweet videos with it..i wish I could find the link to one of em. Oh well..bottom line is that lenses are really fun!
Oooooh they totally make the pictures look super dreamy =)

wow! So so fun and so so cheap! The starburst one is my favorite. Thanks for sharing ladies 🙂
They look great, have already marked them on eBay after reading this, would they work with iPad? I reckon the answer should be yes as I image the camera is similar to iPhone but just want to see what you think.
Thanks for the heads up about these great looking toys!
Never knew these existed! Fun, stuff, thanks for sharing!!
I want the jelly lens too!!! They make the photos really cool and fun!
I would definitely get a set for myself!

Wow, those were such pretty photos, I wonder… do they sell those Jelly Lens sets for SLR cameras?
Yep, just bought the same set. I can’t wait to get them in!!!
I picked up the starburst one at an old navy. My boyfriend says it looks like a “Shout” from Skyrim. I have to agree. Once we decide that he really enjoyed taking photos with it.
Looks fun, thanks for the links!! ^^ My favorites are image mirage and soft lent
This reminds me, I came across some really amazing iPhone lenses that I put off for later to buy! These looks like so much fun!
Cool! That starburst one is my favorite. Might have to get these…
