Another DIY I did before Christmas: “anti-stress” and “anti-wanderlust” pillboxes!
All you need:
– tiny empty jars and bottles
– chocolate beans
– vintage printables + paper
– twine
– glue stick
I used a tiny jam jar and a mini brandy bottle that I cleaned and dried up thoroughly. I sorted the chocolate beans by colour, to make the two sorts of pills look differently.
For making the labels I used free vintage printables I found online. Here are some of my favorites:
After making the pattern – here comes the fun part: the sewing.
If you haven’t done the pattern yet, here’s a link to the pattern making tutorial: Ā #1 transfer the pattern onto the fabric
Note that you won’t need to add seam allowance any more. You will need two pieces for the outer and the inner fabric and one piece of fusible interfacing.
Maybe you still need an idea for a last minute Christmas gift? Or you have a mobile phone yourself that just doesn’t seem to fit in any case? Or maybe you simply want to customise a phone case for fun.
Well anyway, this is part 1 ofĀ How to Make a Mobile Phone CaseĀ where I show how to make a custom-made pattern. And it’s fairly quick and easy. Pattern-making and sewing together takes about an hour. But if you’re figuring it out for the first time it might take a little longer.
