Eyeglass Case
The finished eye case. It has a triangular shape and can be folded flat (theoretically).
The finished case opened up with my sunglases in it.
My old eyeglass case broke – actually, it broke long ago, but I finally got the idea to replace it. I searched the Internet to buy a new one, but the only one I found and liked was out of stock.
The basic shape ready to cut out.
The cutout cardboard stock.
Luckily, it did not look so hard to build myself. I crafted it from cardboard stock (and an old Amazon envelope). I further used magnets and self-adhesive fabrics (grey and green (both found on Amazon)).
The location of the magnets.
Triangle pieces to enforce the sides.
I’m happy with the result. Although the original feature that the case folds flat does not work - with the fabrics on our outside and inside, it is too stiff. But it works as a case, and I’m using it now for my glasses.
The outer fabric applied (the grey textured one).
The inside with the green felt like fabric (green).
I want to find out how durable it is – I fear I need to redo it at some point with some heavier card stock. It holds its shape and has some protective function, but it is certainly not a hard case.
