Making Your Own Tulip Airpods Case
Are you tired of the same old plain Airpods case? If you're looking to add a touch of style and creativity to your Airpods, then you've come to the right place. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating a beautiful tulip Airpods case step by step. This DIY project is not only fun but also allows you to customize your case according to your personal taste. So grab your materials and let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather all the materials you'll need to make your own tulip Airpods case:
- Three different colors of yarn (preferably sport weight cotton yarn)
- 2.5mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Stitch marker
Make sure to choose colors that complement each other and reflect your style. Now that we have all the materials, let's move on to making the body case.
3. Making the Body Case
To begin, we'll start by making the body case for the Airpods. Follow these steps:
3.1. Starting the Body Case
- Create a slip knot to secure your yarn.
- Chain 14 stitches and start from the second chain of the hook.
- Make five single crochet stitches.
- Chain three, skip three chains, and make another five single crochet stitches.
- This completes the first round of the body case.
3.2. Creating the Rows
- For the second round, make an increase in the same stitch as the last single crochet. This will give you three single crochet stitches in the same stitch.
- Continue with 11 single crochet stitches.
- Make three more increases: one in the stitch that was skipped at the beginning and two more in different stitches.
- Continue with 11 single crochet stitches.
- Make two more increases.
- Repeat this pattern for rounds three to six, making single crochet stitches around without any increase.
- Attach a stitch marker at the beginning of each row to keep track of your progress.
Continue following these steps until you complete the sixth row. Your body case should now be taking shape.
3.3. Making the Tulip Stem
- In the last single crochet stitch of the sixth row, change the yarn color to green.
- Make a slip stitch in the next stitch and chain four.
- Make one double crochet in the same stitch.
- Chain two and skip two stitches.
- Make another double crochet in the next stitch.
- Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row.
- Make a slip stitch in the third chain of the beginning and chain one.
- Cut off the yarn and fasten off.
Congratulations! You have created the tulip stem for your Airpods case.
3.4. Adding the Flower
- Attach yarn in between the two double crochet stitches for row eight.
- Use the popcorn stitch technique to create the tulip flower.
- Chain three (this counts as one double crochet) and make four double crochet stitches in the same stitch.
- Remove the hook and insert it into the third chain made at the beginning.
- Insert the hook into the dropped loop and pull out the loop. Chain three.
- Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row.
- Make a slip stitch in the first chain three at the beginning and change the yarn color back to the main color.
- Continue to row nine by making one single crochet in the same stitch where the yarn was attached.
- Follow this pattern around, making one single crochet on top of the flower and two single crochet stitches in the chain two space.
- For the 10th row, make single crochet stitches around without any increase.
- Remember to use a stitch marker for the first single crochet.
- Finish off the body case using the invisible fasten off method.
4. Finishing the Body Case
If you have made the case for a Lenovo LP40 Pro, then the body case should be the right size. However, if you are making the case for Airpods, you might need to add a few more rows to ensure a perfect fit. Use the invisible fasten off method and leave a long tail for sewing.
5. Creating the Lid Case
Now, let's move on to creating the lid case or cover case for your Airpods. Follow these steps:
5.1. Starting the Lid Case
- Make a slip knot to secure your yarn.
- Chain 14 stitches and start from the second chain of the hook.
- Make 13 single crochet stitches.
5.2. Adding the Rows
- Make one increase in the same stitch as the last single crochet.
- Continue with 13 single crochet stitches.
- Make one more increase in the chain that was skipped at the beginning.
- Continue with 13 single crochet stitches.
- Make two more increases.
- Repeat this pattern for rows three to eight, making single crochet stitches around without any increase.
- Use a stitch marker at the beginning of each row.
Continue following these steps until you complete the eighth row. Finish off the lid case using the invisible fasten off method.
6. Sewing the Body and Lid Case Together
To complete your tulip Airpods case, sew the body and lid case together using a tapestry needle and the long tail left from the body case. You can also put a small piece of tape on the Airpods to prevent the case from sliding off easily.
7. Tips for Securing the Airpods
- Use the measurements provided in the tutorial to ensure a perfect fit for your Airpods.
- Consider adding extra rows if needed to accommodate the size of your Airpods.
- Test the case before sewing it together to ensure a snug fit and proper functionality.
- Get creative with color combinations to make your case unique and personalized.
