If you are like most people out there, then you own a cell phone. It seems that everyone has one of these devices. They come in all shapes and sizes with options to suit anyone's individual needs. The newest models even have cameras on them now! No matter who you are or what kind of phone you own, they can make your life much easier. You can keep your schedule with you when you don't have a planner and even play games to pass the time away when you are waiting for something.
But what about style? It seems like most people settle for plain black or gray cell phone covers, but why should they when there is such a wide variety of choices in stores? Some people prefer to have a deadpool phone cover with their personality, while others just want to protect the expensive device. Either way, here are some ideas on how you can make your own cell phone cover!
First of all, think about what kind of material you would like it made out of. Here are some suggestions:
- Cloth
- Vinyl
- Canvas
If you choose cloth, you can use many different types of material to make it. You may need to experiment with what works the best for your style preference. Some suggested materials are fleece, cotton, or even an old shirt! If you want to create more of a protective case, then consider using vinyl or canvas. These materials will make your phone easier to grip and also should keep it from getting scratched up.
When you have determined what material you want, then you should find a pattern that fits the bill. If you want to create an accent piece just for decoration, then pick out whatever design you can find that suits your tastes! If this is going to be a protective case, then you may want to use a simple design that won't take away from the style of your phone. Some people like zebra print, while others prefer a solid color. It is really up to you and what your personal preferences are!
Once you have determined the size and pattern for your cover, it's time to pick out the accessories you want to include. You can use anything from beads to buttons or snaps. The choices are endless! Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Ribbon
- Beads
- Sequins
Once you have all of your components, then it's time to start sewing! Stitch together all of the pieces in the order you want to create your final product. If you are using a snap or button, then stitch one half on and leave the other open so that it can be snapped together when your device is inside of it. For ribbon, beads, and sequins, just sew them onto the piece where ever you like.
When you are finished, attach the remaining half to the other side of your case, and you are all done! If you are giving this as a gift, put it inside a box with some tissue paper to make it look even better. Be sure to take pictures of it before you give it away, or you will never see it again!
