How to Make a Polka Ball Phone Case

Are you looking for a fun and creative way to personalize your phone case? In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making a cute polka ball phone case that can be customized to fit any type of phone. With just a few materials and some basic crochet skills, you can create a unique and stylish phone case that will show off your personality. So, let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather all the materials you'll need for this DIY project. Make sure you have the following:

1. Glue gun (low-temperature)
2. Darning needle
3. Crochet hook (size J)
4. Red yarn
5. White yarn
6. Scissors
7. Felt
8. Phone (to measure and fit the case)

Now that we have everything we need, let's move on to the next step.

Step 1: Measuring and Chaining

To begin, measure the length of your phone and chain until you reach the desired length. The number of chains will vary depending on the size of your phone. For reference, we will use an Android Max phone, which requires 12 chains for the width. Adjust accordingly for your phone.

Step 2: Single Crocheting

Next, single crochet into the first chain and put three single crochets within this first chain. Turn and continue with a single crochet until you reach the last chain. Switch sides by keeping the tail inside and crochet across again, starting from the other end.

Step 3: Switching Colors

Once you complete the first round, switch to the other color (red yarn) and continue single crocheting all the way around. Repeat this process for 9 rounds (or adjust the number of rounds according to your phone's size) until you reach the halfway point.

Step 4: Crocheting the Sides

After completing the rounds of white and red yarn, single crochet all the way around until you reach just above the top of the phone. The number of rounds will vary depending on your phone's size and the number of chains. Refer to the previous steps and adapt as necessary.

Step 5: Creating the Magical Ring

Now it's time to make the magical ring. Using six stitches within, create a ring and slip stitch into the first stitch. Secure the ring and sew on the tails.

Step 6: Attaching the Felt Pieces

Cut a piece of felt that goes all the way around the case, ensuring it touches the base. Additionally, cut a larger piece of felt in the shape of a circle to fit underneath the magical ring. This will provide support and stability.

Step 7: Gluing and Finalizing the Case

With the felt pieces cut, it's time to start assembling the phone case. Place the larger felt circle under the magical ring and glue it in place. Then, glue the felt strip around the case, securing it to the base of the case. Once the glue is dry, your polka ball phone case is complete!
