Progress does not stand still, and with its development we increasingly surround ourselves with various devices. Many can no longer imagine their lives without an expensive phone and tablet. But these devices are quite fragile, and without adequate protection they quickly become worthless. The most important protection for this item can be a beautiful case.
But unfortunately, this is a rather expensive accessory, and not everyone is ready to lay out a tangible amount for it. Therefore, it is better to build it with your own hands. This will not only save you money, but also allow you to get an original, beautiful little thing. She will set you apart from the crowd and show your outstanding skills in the best light.
To create you need to spend a little effort and free time. And materials for the manufacture can be found in their own farm.
What you need for self-made case
The basis for any process is the preparatory phase. In this case, it consists of the following actions:
- design definition future things;
- taking measurements and building patterns;
- material and tool selection for creating;
- choice of decor (optional).
It will also be necessary to equip a comfortable workplace. The progress of the work and its final result will depend on how convenient it will be and how you organize it. To do this, select a flat horizontal surface. Lay out materials and tools on it so that it is convenient to take, but at the same time leave the central part free.
Advice! When arranging the workplace, provide adequate lighting. If there is not enough natural light, install an additional light source (desk lamp) on the surface.
What material to choose for the top
Another important point that requires special attention is the choice of material. It can be based on personal tastes and preferences of the future owner. But at the same time it must meet the following criteria.
- Be pretty tight.
- Resistant to abrasion.
- The finished product should be easy to clean.
Materials and tools for work
Based on the characteristics listed above, we can distinguish the following materials that are better than others corresponding to the task.
- Leather, suede and leatherette. They can be purchased at the store. Or use things from your wardrobe that you no longer wear: jackets, boots, and so on.
Attention! Using the material that was already in use, it is necessary to tear the thing apart at the seams and lay out the pattern elements on the details before work. This will make sure that the material is definitely enough.
- Thick fabric, jeans. As in the previous version, the cover can be sewn from old jeans.
- Yarn. A knitted cover will add a twist to the look and will also serve as a stylish decoration.
- Beads. Such material is good in that it is very easy to care for, resistant to abrasion and at the same time looks not just as an accessory, but as a real stylish decoration.
- Alternatives. For example, book or tree. For the first variation, you will need a publication of the right size, the pages of which are glued. And then remove the central part by the size of the gadget. At the same time, holes for charging are cut out. For the wooden version you need to have carpentry skills.
