How to Make a Mobile Phone Pouch

A decorative phone pouch

Mobile phones offer convenience and the ability to stay connected with friends, loved ones and business acquaintances regardless of your location. With the convenience and portability of mobile phones comes the downside of losing them, dropping them or otherwise damaging them accidentally. Making a mobile phone pouch to hold and protect your mobile phone is a simple process that doesn't require very many materials or much time. Mobile phone pouches protect your phone's screen and make it easier to carry the phone in your pocket or purse.

Things You'll Need

• 9-inch x 9-inch square of quilted fabric
• Fabric glue
• Iron

Instructions

1. Spread the 9-inch x 9-inch square of fabric in front of you. Choose a thick fabric, such as diamond-quilted velvet or similar material.

2. Squeeze out some fabric glue down the left edge of the square.

3. Fold the fabric in half, horizontally, attaching the right edge of the fabric to the glued left edge.

4. Squeeze a line of glue approximately one inch above the bottom edge of the folded material. Squeeze another line about an inch above the previous glue line.

5. Fold the bottom edge of the folded material from the bottom up to just above the second glue line. Press it against the glue, to create a makeshift pocket.

6. Allow the pouch to dry about an hour.

7. Turn the pouch inside-out, to conceal the folded and glued edges. Once it is turned inside-out, it will serve as a basic protective pouch for your mobile device. Mobile phones such as the Blackberry Bold, HTC Touch and other similarly sized phones will fit in the pouch.

Tips & Warnings

• Embellish the mobile phone pouch with gems, glitter and fabric paints for added accents.
