  Step 1

  you will need--

  vinyl plastic*
  scissors
  Xacto knife*
  iphone case**
  sewing needle and thread

• 

  Step 2

  mark where you want your case to end
  for me, it was somewhere under the hands. you can make yours really short or really long, however, the longer you make it, the shorter your pocket will be

• 

  Step 3

  using your knife (and card/ruler to make the cut straight), cut off the excess

• 

  Step 4

  cut off the edges
  I made a booboo in taking this picture and placed my knife in the middle, but I really cut almost all of the edges off

• 

  Step 5

  measure roughly how big you want the plastic to be
  measure it to cover the edges, not just the insides
  it's better to waste a little excess than have to cut a whole new one out cos it's too small

• 

  Step 6

  make the edges square and the sides straight
  I used my mom's Tsquare ruler, but you can use any normal ruler, or even the edge of a tissue box

• 

  Step 7

  then cut out how you want the bottom to be
  if you left it rounded, cut it rounded, etc.

• 

  Step 8

  (optional)
  cut the edges off the excess (if you want the pocket)

• 

  Step 9

  I don't know if all iphone cases have this, but there should be a little bit that covers the front of the phone. cut the edges off that

  this is to cover up the ugly edges from chopping the sides off

• 

  Step 10

  line it up
  if you want, pin it, but I don't recommend it cos it leaves holes and you'll probably have to adjust everything later on anyway

• 

  Step 11

  start sewing. I used the link on the bottom for different sewing styles. for the chocolate, I used the blanket stitch, for the winged one, I used cross stitch (but only finished halfway :x)

  I'm stinky at sewing, if anyone wants to know how to do one of the fancy stitches in the picture DO NOT ask me. I probably don't know how to do it and if I did know, this isn't a sewing for dummies tutorial

  Step 12

  (optional)

  if you want a hole to put a keychain through it, use the camera hole
  use your knife to cut roughly the same shape. if you make it look messy, it'll look ugly
  duh

• 

  Step 13

  ta da!
  stick them on your keychain, with your phone, throw them on a keychain with your membership cards, throw it out, do what you want with it!

• Step 14

  btw the pocket I used to stick coupons (I used the coupons a few hours before making the tut so hahahaa) and maybe some loose change in it. depending on how full your holder is, the change shouldn't fall out

  and depending on how much wiggle space you give it, you probably can't fit THAT much in there, just the necessities

  I have my metrocard, debit card, ID card, some cash, and still have extra space for another card
