Hi Everyone!
I hope you all are enjoying this wonderful Monday! The weather here in Ottawa was lovely, hence why I am posting late this evening instead of towards the beginning of the day. Today, I am bringing you a little project I found posted on Pinterest. It is a felt Harry Potter Ipad cover. Now, the post I found on Pinterest was a link to an Etsy store. Money is a tad tight right now and so instead of ordering one from this Etsy store, I decided I could probably make my own. It was way cheaper than the price I had found at the Etsy store... but it is fairly time-consuming and not a project that kids could do by themselves. With that said, let's talk about what you will need!
Things You Need:
-scissors
-sewing kit
-hot glue
-hot glue gun
-felt in white (2), black, red and yellow
-paper
-pencil
Step 1:
Start by measuring how big the white felt needs to be in order for the iPad to fit inside. I made mine a bit bigger as I don't like when it is too snug.
Step 2:
Cut the white felt. Take your sewing kit and using the white thread and a needle, sew the the edges of the felt together.
Step 3:
Next, take your piece of paper and pencil and make stencils for the eyeglasses and the hair. I found these two to be the hardest. You could probably print out templates if you wanted to spend the time searching for some.
Step 4:
Once you have the stencils made, pin them to the black felt and carefully cut along the edges of the templates. Set aside.
Step 5:
Take your red felt and cut out three squares and a lightening bolt shape. The squares will be a part of his scarf.
Step 6:
Take the yellow felt and cut a strip the same width as the red squares you cut moments ago. Make sure it is the same length as the bottom of the white felt.
Step 7:
Plug your glue gun in. Once hot, carefully glue each piece of felt onto to the white felt. I found that if you leave your iPad inside the white case you made it was easier to do. Or stick a piece of cardboard in it if you are worried about your iPad. Make sure to use a fair amount of glue. You don't want anything coming off.
Once you have finished gluing, you are done! Wasn't that a fun project? I had so much fun making my little case for my iPad mini. It turned out so cute. If any of you decide to make this little DIY, be sure to leave me a comment below telling me about it. You can also leave me a picture or a link to your own posts so I can go and see them. Again, I hope you enjoyed! Until next time, Happy Crafting! xoxo
