How To Make Fluffy Monster Cellphone Case
 |
 |
a) Polar fleece
b) Fur fabric
c) Black and white felt
d) Velcro
e) Pins
f) Thread
g) Scissors
 |
 |
1) Place your phone onto your fleece fabric, as far away from the edge as the phone is thick, and mark this distance again underneath the phone.
2) Mark this same distance all along the fabric, and cut along the line, making a long strip.
3) Place your phone onto the strip of fabric with enough overhang on one side to wrap all the way over it.
4) Mark this same distance on the opposite side of the phone and cut out. You should now have a rectangle of fabric that can comfortably encapsulate the phone,
with enough for a flap to come back down over the front.
5) Place the fleece onto the reverse side of your fur fabric noting the direction of the fur. Cut out the fur to the same size as the fleece.
6) This is what you should have so far, a piece of fleece and a piece of fur the same size
 |
 |
7) Now you need to work out what part will be the main case and what part will be the flap. Pin the fabric together, right sides in, at each corner, and fold the fabric
over the phone with about 5mm extra (to account for the seam) marking where it lands.
8) Leaving a 4mm margin on the 'flap' end, sew around the three edges to the marks you made. On the other end just sew straight across the end.
9) Tip: Trim the corners off at 45 degrees, this will give sharper points once you turn it right-way-out.
10) Turn the case the right-way-out, it will look like this.

Step 4: Sew it up and add the velcro
11) Take the edge where you only sewed straight across and fold it to meet where the base of the flap end. Pin in place on both sides.
12) Leaving a 4mm hem sew along this edge with a straight stitch, finish the edges with a zigzag stitch.
13) Cut a piece of velcro about 1cm shorter than the edge of the case, sew the rough side of the velcro onto the lining side of the flap, 5mm away from the edge.
14) Tip: To get the fluffy fibers out of the stitches on the front of the case run an un-picker or knitting needle (don't use anything sharp or you'll tear the fur)
horizontally along the edge.
15) Put the phone into the case and close the flap, mark the case with a pin where it comes down to.
16) Pin the soft piece of velcro onto the case about 5mm above the marker pin you just placed. Sew the velcro in place
Step 5: Making the monster face
17) Take your white felt, place it just underneath the end of the case flap and mark some sharp teeth on it. Cut out being careful to trim away any pen lines.
18) Trim the teeth to fit just underneath the velcro, pin into place. Handsew along the long edge using small neat stitches.
19) Cut two semi circles shapes from black felt and sew on using neat zig zag stitches.
11) Take the edge where you only sewed straight across and fold it to meet where the base of the flap end. Pin in place on both sides.
12) Leaving a 4mm hem sew along this edge with a straight stitch, finish the edges with a zigzag stitch.
13) Cut a piece of velcro about 1cm shorter than the edge of the case, sew the rough side of the velcro onto the lining side of the flap, 5mm away from the edge.
14) Tip: To get the fluffy fibers out of the stitches on the front of the case run an un-picker or knitting needle (don't use anything sharp or you'll tear the fur)
horizontally along the edge.
15) Put the phone into the case and close the flap, mark the case with a pin where it comes down to.
16) Pin the soft piece of velcro onto the case about 5mm above the marker pin you just placed. Sew the velcro in place

How To Make A Bento Step 2: Materials
The first thing you need is a bento box. Of course, how will you make bento without this? There are many brands which you can buy in SM Department Stores such as Lock & Lock. If you want real Japanese bento box, try visiting Japan Home Centre and Clipper Giftshops which can be found in different malls here in the Philippines since they offer Japanese-style and kawaii (cute) bento boxes!
Cupcake forms and dividers are very handy when keeping flavors from mingling. Mini forms fit well in bentos. There are also silicone forms out now that are great if you have something really wet or messy (like spaghetti). Some dividers are already packaged in the lunch box especially the Lock & Lock brands. I don’t know where to buy cupcake forms in the Philippines since you know, 3rd world country tayo kasi eh. Pero kung sa Japan at US, makakabili ka talaga.
Regular shrimp forks are small in size and fit in bento boxes, try nyong maghanap ng ganito sa SM Dept. Store. Many colors, shapes, and sizes of specialty forks designed especially for bento boxes are available. Kayo na ang bahalang maghanap. Skewers or toothpicks can be cut to size and decorated. A nice pair of chopsticks will round off your bento set. Meron mga chopsticks na may kasamang box, pumunta kayo sa Japan Home Centre kasi meron dun.
Bumili din kayo ng cookie cutter. A cutter can be a cookie cutter, craft punch, or craft blade. I think I use my craft blade more than any other bento tool! Cutters are especially handy for cutting nori (seaweed/sushi paper), vegetables, or sliced tofu/meat. Who doesn't want little carrot stars on their salad?
Pinakamahirap hanapin kung saan mabibili ang sauce bottle. Kung wala kayong super liit na sauce bottle. Ilagay niyo na lang yung mga sauce like soy sauce sa plastic ng ice candy tapos ibuhol niyo na lang ng maayos.
Kapag kumpleto na sa materials, pwede ng gumawa ng bento! Excited ka na ba?

2. sauce bottles
3. miniature cookie cutters
4. mini forks

How To Make A Bento Step 1: Rules
May basic rule kasi ang paggagawa ng bento. Eto yun.
The 4-3-2-1 rule: 4 parts rice, 3 parts protein, 2 parts vegetable, and 1 part "treat" (Usually either pickled vegetables or something sweet.)
Dapat yung sushi ay medyo marami ang wasabi para mas flavorful.
Dapat ihihiwalay yung foods na malambot or malagkit gamit ang divider. Dapat i-separate yung wet foods from dry foods gamit ang nested or altogether separate container such as a cupcake forms.
Sauces and dressings go in their own bottles (dapat may lid or cap).
Oily foods (tulad ng gyoza) should be packaged on top of an absorbent material.
Bentos should not require refrigeration or heating.
Above all else dapat super ganda ng design at nakakatakam kainin yung bento! (Note: Compulsory po ang rule na ‘to!)
