DIY a Drawstring Bag

 If you know a little bit of sewing,you definitely know how to make a drawstring bag.However,I want to share you how you can use the "French seam" to finish off the bag neatly on the inside.

Yet, I wanted the bags to look "clean" on the inside. You may have a very basic sewing machine, with a not so great zigzag stitch for finishing seams. And even with a decent zigzag stitch, the fabric still might start fraying (especially linen) when the bag is heavily used. Therefore,it is time to get to know this method,the French seam.I will show you a short tutorial for the drawstring bags.

DIY Studded Phone Case

What you’ll need:

- Phone case
- Iron on studs
 - Krazy glue
- Ruler
- Pencil

Here is how I make my own studded phone case:

I laid out my design first before gluing anything, just to get an idea of how it would look. When I got an idea of where the placement would be I removed all the studs but one to mark the “start.” Using a ruler, I drew a line lightly with a pencil to use as a guide. Time to glue!

Put a small dot of glue directly onto the case, where you’d like the stud to go. Quickly place the stud on top of the glue. I ended up using a manicure stick to get the stud in the correct position as quickly as possible. As soon as I got the placement right I stopped touching it and moved on to the next one.

In order to maintain a straight line of studs, it’s best to take your time. I even took a break after a couple rows because I felt myself starting to rush. Once you have all your studs glued, leave the case alone! No touching for at least 24 hours! This was hard for me because I’m not good with waiting, but I knew I had to let the glue dry completely so they studs would hold as long as possible.

I love my new personalized case! Super easy and super stylin!
