Felt Phone Case Instructions
Ingredients
  • gray felt – 8″ x 4″; 4″ x 6″; 3″ x 4″; and 1.5″ circle
  • orange felt – 4″ x 3.5″
  • white felt – 1.5″ x 1″
  • red felt – .5″ dot
  • black felt – 2″ circle and 1″ x .5″ square
  • yarn
  • needle
  • snap button
  • 12″ ribbon
Instructions
  1. Cut out felt according to sizes listed above.
  2. Place the orange cutout on top of the gray piece of felt, matching the bottom and side edges. Center and stitch the black circle onto the orange and grey cutouts—use the process shots as a guide.
  3. Next, center and stitch the grey circle on top of the black circle.
  4. Stitch the remaining rectangular and red dot cutouts in place as seen in the photo then stitch the 3″ x 4″ pocket onto the 4″ x 6″ gray piece.
  5. Blanket stitch the 2 gray pieces (4″ x 6″ and 8″ x 4″) together along 3 sides, leaving the right side open for the flap (see our [url href=”https://everydaydishes.com/creative-crafts/how-to-sew-a-blanket-stitch-diy/” target=”_blank” title=”Blanket Stitch Video”]blanket stitch video[/url]).
  6. Cut the felt on the side you’ve left open to form a 2″ x 2″ flap. Center the snap button clasp on the inside of the flap, align it with the pocket then attach. Fold your ribbon in half to form a loop then stitch it onto the inside of the top right corner.
  7. Insert phone and cards and you’re done!
Notes
When attaching a snap button, catch just enough material with your needle so the stitches don’t show through the other side. It’ll look much neater.
