I just finished up this cell phone case. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
It's made of silver plate wire that was strung with a variety of glass seed beads - exploding in colors and sizes - then single stitch crocheted into a mesh envelope. I then sewed a purple with white polka dots linen liner and secured it inside the wire mesh envelope.
After choosing a beautiful dichroic glass cabochon that was made by Tonja Lenderman of Tonja's Treasures, I wire wrapped and secured it onto the flap for use as the button portion of the closure. Then, I made the clasp portion from rubber cording that was also wire wrapped onto the front of the case.
I single crocheted a luscious variegated yarn into a small loop for a handle and together with a silver plate "C" charm secured them to the case as a final flair.
The measurements are approximately three and one half inches by two inches and the case was made to fit an LG Banter cell phone.
