Totoro Eyeglasses Case Reconstruction

Here is a fun and simple project that only took me a matter of hours to make. You can use any old soft eyeglasses case you have laying around. Doesn't have to look exactly like what I made, but since I love Totoro from Hayao Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro (for those of you that don't know)and the eyeglasses case is gray, I thought, "Hey! Why not?".

I first started out with a blueprint/doodle in my notebook. You don't have to do this, but I just like to draw out/plan out first.

Here is a close-up of the little Totoros I drew for fun. :)

Totoro-Before
This is what the case looked like before. I used an Express eyeglasses case my sister gave me when she use to work there. If you look closely at it, it has Express plastered all over it which is huge turn off. But the overall satisfaction of the final product outweighs it. :)

Totoro-After
This is the final product. I used green felt to make the leaf, some old buttons for the eyes and black threading for the nose & whiskers.

You can use this pouch to store anything to your heart's content. I personally would not use this to store glasses because the case is too soft and could easily get crushed. I like to store my mp3 player and cell phone for easy access and so it won't get scratched.

I hope that this will inspire you to make your own fun & cute decorative eyeglasses case. What do you think about it?

Hello Kitty Pocket Mirror

Here is another project that I completed within these past couple of days. I made it for my lovely friend, Katherine. I was surprised at how accurate it came out to be. I am seriously considering starting my own online shop of craft goods after I graduate. :)

Enjoy <3









Materials: Felt, hot glue gun, fabric glue

Domo-Kun pocket mirror

Here is a pocket mirror featuring Domo-Kun. Yes, I know I have a lot of posts about him but he is just too cute!

I know the pictures don't really capture the process it took into making this, but I "got so in to it" while I was making it at times, that I would forget to take pictures.
