For the last couple of nights, I've been working on this cute tablet case. It can fit a iPad mini, a Nook, a Kindle Fire or whatever. My sister owns a Kindle Fire and I'm thinking about making one for her birthday.. But shh don't tell her!
I think it's pretty cute. All I did was crochet a chain stitch until it was twice as long as a tablet and then attach the ends together. After that, I crocheted in rounds until it was the height I wanted. So easy!
After that, I crocheted sunburst circles and a triangle and sewed them on. I also chain stitched a loop hole and sewed a button for a closure.
It was pretty easy, but it took awhile to make. If you're not savvy with a crochet hook, you can always purchase this from me in my Etsy shop, Essential Handmades!
I'm so excited to start my Etsy shop back up again. I was on hiatus for awhile but now I'm back. :)
I hope you all have a wonderful week.
Love, Liz
Awsomeness! Do you know what was funny? I was making a crocheted Ipod case for two of my friends which happened to be twin sisters! One of them was a white bunny with brown spots and the other was an owl! I was stuck on how i wanted the owl.Thanks for posting this it is very cute! Maybe now I can finish 'em!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Yeah, I always consider making a double of something I make for other people after I make them because sometimes they turn out way cooler than I thought they would. Keep on crocheting!

Thank you Juliette!

That is so cute and such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily! I plan to make many more.. Especially ones this size because I don't think many sellers do -- they mostly focus on iPad-sized ones. Thanks for stopping by!

I absolutely love this it is so cute!
ReplyDelete**This is a suggestion you don't have to do this, it was just an idea***
If you still have that lace wedding dress, I was thinking that you could make a lace ring (if you still had the lace.) Then show it off in one of your blog posts. Or if you are feeling even more crafty, you could make matching lace earrings too. Here are some web addresses that have some pictures and ideas.

this is perfect! i always think owls are the ultimate book loving animal. this is great for a kindle or other e-reader!
ReplyDeleteHaha because owls are so.. wise, right? I always think back to my childhood when I watched Winnie the Pooh when I'm making something with owls.

Oh wow, I love this tablet case! I'm a sucker for anything with an owl on it, I wish I could make something like this but I'm awful at making anything using crochet or knitting. If I had a tablet I would buy it in a heartbeat.
