Tutorial on how to make a hand-made tablet protective case from felt cloth. It is beautiful, fashionable and low-cost to make. It can be used to place tablets such as iPad or Nexus7.
Materials required to make a tablet case:
1) Light gray felt cloth, choose a thicker cloth, the length and width are 19 inches x 10.5 inches. Light gray looks more high-tech, and you can choose different colors according to your preferences.
2) 2 pairs of concealed buttons, 2 colored buttons, and the cord (or elastic band) needed to make the rope buckle.
3)Sewing machine and sewing thread. The sewing thread is color matched to the felt fabric. All you need to make this case is basic sewing skills.
Steps to make a tablet case:
1) Lay the felt cloth flat on the table, place the tablet on top of the felt, and align the edges. Wrap the iPad with curled felt cloth, leaving a 3-inch edge at the top as a cover. Use a tailors pen and ruler to mark cutting lines and cut off any excess fabric.
2) Use a pen to draw a petal shape (or crescent shape) on the edge of the covering cloth, and cut it neatly.
3) Remove the flat plate and use a sewing machine to sew both sides of the felt bag. Pay attention to the back-stitching at both ends of the suture to reinforce it.
4) Sew a hidden button on each side of the felt bag mouth, and sew a hidden button on the corresponding position of the bag cover.
5) Sew a plastic buckle in the middle of the bag mouth and the middle of the bag cover, then use an 8-inch long colored cord or elastic band to make a buckle and tie it to the button. This completes the entire handcrafting of the felt tablet case.
