Hello everyone,
Today’s post is all
about a DIY tutorial that is super easy and fun to do. I love sunglasses and
have probably all shapes and colors. There is something about these sunnies,
they kind of enhance and complete looks.
I love sunglasses, but
carrying those cases is pain; either they are too bulky to carry around or I
have already misplaced them. There is another problem; the cases only fit in
the pair of shades they actually come with. I just hate to carry those bulky
cases.
I was carrying my shades
in a simple draw string pouch, when one day I came across a brand of shades
that come with cute, wraparound cases. They looked so cool, funky and were so
expensive. I controlled the urge. Well,
I controlled the urge to buy another pair of glasses, but not the urge to make
a case similar to that one, on my own.
So let us see what you
need to make these cute, wraparound cases..
- Fabric (Suede, leather,
foam sheets, velvet fabric or any kind of thick fabric. Thick fabrics will
protect your shades from scratches.)
- Scissors
- Rough sheets to draw the
pattern
- Pen
- Fabric glue
STEPS:-
- Place your sunglasses on the rough sheet and outline it. Rotate the sunnies and outline it again. Refer
picture. The patter will represent a four-leaf clover. Make sure all the sides
are uniform.
- Now place the pattern on the fabric, trace around it with a
pen and cut it accordingly and carefully.
- Now cut a strip of the same material or any other material/ribbon
if you want a contrasting strap. This will be the strap which will wrap around
your sunnies.
- Now lay the fabric
flat with the wrong site up and stick the ribbon/fabric strip with fabric glue.
If you want, you can sew as well.
And guess what? You are done!!!
Slide the temples of the shade through the strap and wrap once;
it will hold your sunglasses in place.
Now fold the fabric covering your glasses and wrap the strap
around a few more times. Tuck in the end, and glide it in your bag without
any worry.
So i hope you find this DIY Tutorial helpful. This is so quick and easy to make and the supplies don't even burn your pocket.
Wow... Its amazing...m gonna try this next time :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent DIY....i always struggle to keep by glasses safe without getting scratchy... Especially, this hack helps a lot while traveling, where u can only take a teeny travel sling wallet tht can't hold ur glass case .... Instead of wrapping my glass in soft cloth material... I can try this ....
