Is your hard cover case for your glasses just a little boring? Spice it up with just a little bit of fabric and ribbon! This craft was so fun, and it makes me want to wear those glasses more often!
Don't look too closely at those coke bottle lenses though! Just focus more on the cute new case!
Here is what you'll need:
Mod Podge
Glasses case
Enough fabric to cover both sides of your case
Craft Knife(exacto knife)
Ribbon
Hot Glue
Slather on a nice coat of Mod Podge to your case.
Take your fabric and smooth it over your case and get all the bubbles out.
Get your Mod Podge around all the edges leading into the case and smooth your fabric. Your case should look like this when you're done. Let it dry completely (15-20 min).
Next get out your craft knife and slowly cut the fabric to the inside edge.
Cleans up real nice!
Now finish up with another coat of Mod Podge and let dry completely again.
Don't worry if the cutting didn't turn out super clean. Your ribbon will cover up any imperfections!
Be sure to only put the bead of hot glue on ONE side of the case! You don't want to seal this baby shut!!
Finish off your ribbon trim by folding over the end 1/2 in and glue down.
You can add little fabric yo-yo's to your case for an extra punch of cuteness! I found this tutorial on how to make them here! And....Voila! Now you have a case worthy to flash around!
I hope you can make your case match your personality! I sure had fun doing this one!
