Craft Moments.

I really envied those who had a "book like" cover, which was only specifically for iPhone 4/4S. So, I looked into my craft box, and thought of making a cover of my own since I already have those supplies.
I was so excited and quickly got on with it. :)

Supplies you need:
1. Inner Cardboard - To hold the cover (17.8 x 11.9cm )
2. Small Cardboard - Flap to lock (8.6cm x 3.7cm)

3. Lock Caps/Buttons

4. Pattern Papers (Your Favourite)

5. Adhesive (Glue Tape/White Glue)

6. Cutting Tools

7. Pegs (To hold the paper in place)

8. Ribbons (Decoration)

9. Most Important: 1 Unused Cover of your phone model
*Dimensions can change according to your phone models. Measure them. :)


Steps to Make Your very own Cover with just using paper products:

1. First, cut your cardboard into dimensions that you have measured.
2. Second, using the adhesives that you have, adhere the pretty pattern papers onto the cardboard.
3. Cut a hole, if needed for the camera.
It should look something like this.

4. Using the adhesives that you have, adhere the cover down on the right side (where the hole is being punched).
5. Use the pegs to hold them in place.
6. Next, sew the lock buttons onto the cardboard, one on the front, and another at the front of the flap as well. Don't worry, it is not hard to pierce through the cardboard. But becareful as well. ^^
After sewing, the lock buttons should look something like this.

7. Stick the flap for the lock onto the back of the cover. To align them perfectly, first have some glue only at the end of the flap, and pin the lock buttons(front cover and flap) together first, then stick the rear flap behind.
Something like this. :)

8. Then, continue by adding ribbons or embellishments on the cover wherever you like. :)
When it is done, it should look something like this. :)

9. And it is done! :D Your very own, hand phone cover, with just supplies you can find around your house. :)







Thank You and Happy Crafting. :D
