I recently saw on Marie Bostwick's facebook page a picture of a little pouch she had made to hold her mp3 player. As soon as I saw it, I 'shared' it on my page, to save the inspiration. Sailor Boy's gf commented on it, saying she needed one too! So here's what I've come up with.
I made this to the measurements of her piece of technology, but this is my iPod inside it.
Instead of heading to the fabric store to find the hardware, I just went downstairs to the Dollar Store, and picked up a lanyard and a key chain, and Frankensteined the metal parts.
I am making another one now, to see if I can perfect the technique. The second one, I increased the width of the 'lanyard' piece by half an inch. I'll be sizing this next one for my own iPod. It's nearly done, but I need some more hardware.

How cool. I love this and love your ingenious solution for hardware! Gotta love the $ shops!
ReplyDeleteThe Dollar Store is a treasure trove for hardware; I have done just what you suggested. And between you and I, I like your version compared to the inspiration. I am thinking a wider strap might be more comfortable around the neck?
ReplyDeleteCute idea! Love that bracelet fabric:)
ReplyDeleteI've picked up a few backpacks, $1, from thrift stores just to harvest the hardware. Love your phone holder with a place for the earphones too.
