How to Make a Cell Phone Case Fort Collins CO

Steps

1. Lay your cell phone on the piece of fabric of your choice. Make sure that the fabric isn't too rough or it might scratch your phone.
2. Take some chalk, or a marker, and trace the shape of your phone onto the fabric. Make sure that you leave a bit of space, so that your cell fits after the case is sewn.
3. Put another piece of fabric under the one that you traced the shape onto. You may want the two pieces to match, or not, depending on your design ideas.
4. Cut both fabrics on the lines that you drew with the chalk
5. Sew the fabrics together, ugly side of the fabric facing outward. Don't sew the top though, because you need to get your phone into it somehow. :]
6. Turn it inside out so that the nice side of your fabric is on the outside. You can decorate it with fabric paint if you want to!
7. Customize! Make the case your own.
