Materials Needed:
1 Sock
Scissors
Straight Pins
Sewing Machine
Matching Thread
Pinking Shears
Pearl Bead
White Thread
Needle
Elastic Cord
Embroidery Needle
Simple DIY Instructions:
Start with a Cut: Trim the top part of the sock just above the heel and discard the bottom half.
Sew It Up: Turn the sock inside out and pin the cut sides together. Sew these edges, leaving about a ½-inch seam allowance.
Trim Neatly: Use pinking shears to trim away the excess fabric in the seam allowance, preventing fraying.
Finishing Touches: Turn the sock right-side out and sew a pearl bead onto the middle of the top edge.
Secure with a Loop: Thread an elastic cord through an embroidery needle. Attach the cord inside the sock, directly opposite the pearl bead. Tie the cord ends inside the sock, creating a loop on the outside.
There you have it! Slide your phone into this custom sock pouch, and secure it with the elastic loop around the bead. Your new, sleek phone cover is ready to go!”
