Monday Inspiration: Make a case for that new iPhone 6!

Did you get the new iPhone 6 this weekend? Does your current phone needs a little non-virtual upgrade?

Why not warp up your loom and weave a gorgeous silk and bead phone case? Simply use the techniques from our Tapestry/Bead Cuff Bracelet!

Make your piece a little more than twice the width of your phone and a little longer than it. When you’re done weaving, line with fabric (we love using silk), use beads to embellish around the edges and finish off with a silk Kumihimo strap.

What you’ll need:
-A Mirrix Loom with a shedding device (make sure it is wide enough to weave a piece more than twice the width of your phone)
–Heddles
-Directions for our Tapestry/Bead Cuff Bracelet (to learn how to combine beads and fiber). Get the free ebook here!
-8/0 Beads (this is a great mix)
–Hand-painted silk (or other fiber)
–A Kumihimo braiding kit  (This one comes with silk!)
-Silk or fabric to line the piece
-Warp. C-Lon Cord works well for this piece.

Plus needles, thread (we love C-Lon size D), a pair of scissors, a tape measure, etc. Check the supply list for the Tapestry/Bead Cuff Bracelet.
