Cell Phone Holder

Keep misplacing your phone at home?
It needs a nest to rest in. And also can allow you to be 'hands free'.


Here are the instructions to make your own Cell Phone Buddha (as my daughter calls it)

1. You need a piece of fabric ( I used cotton) 15" X 12". Or two pieces measuring: 15" X 6"

2. Sew wrong sides together to form a tube (with one open end).

3. Turn right side out and grab a handful of stuffing, cotton or even a plastic grocery bag. Stuff into the tube making sure to get in the corners.
Then pour in about a cup of dried beans, rice or peas.


4. This is the trickiest part. Although it's not THAT tricky.
If you used two pieces of fabric, you will have two seams. Line these up and pin close to the bean stuffing.  If you used one piece and folded it up, you will have only one seam. So now you have to manipulate the fabric until this one seam is in the middle of the tube.
5. So now you have to pin across the fabric, containing the beans in while you stitch across.
 
6. Now you will roll up the 'open' end, first folding corners in, and then roll up tightly until you get to the stitching line. Pin both ends to hold, while you hand stitch the roll edges together.
 
7. This will create a little 'lip' for your phone to rest in. And now you are done!
