This is a really easy phone case which I made in half an hour for a friend. It is good for customising with whatever embellishments you have handy.

  • How to stitch an felted pouch. Easy Felt Phone Case - Step 1
    Step 1

    Find an old woollen jumper. This one came from a charity shop (thrift store). Shrink it in a hot wash and you have made your own felt!

    You can then use it for all sorts of projects (I made mittens out of this one as well as the phone case).
