Steps
- Take the sock and trace your cellphone on it. Cut the sock leaving about two extra inches at the top.
- Sew the two pieces around three sides, leaving the top end open, or use the sides and bottom of the sock.
- Open the open end of the sock and cut one side so that it is longer than the other.
- On the longer side of the open end, sew a button.
- Near the bottom of the sock, make two small holes with a pencil.
- Double up a rubber band or hair band and put it through the holes.
- Put both ends of the bands around the button.
- Accessorize. Make sure it represents you! Make it colorful and pretty.
Tips
- Make sure you tie off the sewing correctly so your phone doesn't fall out the bottom.
- Make sure you sew the bottom part evenly and don't mess up. Its hard to start over. Go slow so you know what you're doing.
- Socks are knit fabrics, so it will help to hem any cut ends.
- Make sure you put the holes in the right place so the band can reach the button or wrap around it.
- Don't make the holes too big.
Warnings
- Use proper caution when working with scissors, sewing machines, and needles.
