Make a Cell Phone Case
Cell phones come in many shapes and sizes, and finding one to fit your phone can sometimes be tricky (not to mention expensive). Luckily, making a custom cell phone case is easier than you'd think. Just see step 1 below to begin.
Steps
- Gather your phone and sewing supplies.
- Fold your fabric in half. Pin it in place to keep it from moving.
- Place your phone on the fabric and trace around it with a pencil.
- Cut the fabric, adding an extra inch to all sides. This should accommodate for the seams, hem and thickness of your phone.
- With right sides together, stitch three sides of your case together, leaving a half-inch seam allowance.
- Turn the opening over twice, to form a half-inch hemline and stitch it in place.
- Attach a set of Velcro circles, to either side of the hem, to secure the opening.
- Attach a sturdy loop of ribbon, to one side of the opening, as a finger, wrist or belt strap.
- Turn the case right side out.
- Finished.
Tips
- Choose any random boring old phone case.
- Ensure that the case you selected properly fits your device.
- Add some glitter and anything fun that you want on your phone case!
- Wait a couple of hours until all of your decorations are glued.
- Put the phone case on your devise!
- Cut out four pieces of leather exactly the same size, but slightly bigger than your phone. Glue two and two together. Sew around three edges using a sewing machine.
Warnings
- Be careful to keep the case dry!
