I absolutely adore my Nintendo DS and I pretty much carry it around with me in my bag a lot.

I decided today, that I wanted to make a cute little bag to carry it in, like a DS case I guess. All of the cases that were at the store were not cute and I knew that it would be easy enough just to make one!
Easy enough for ALL of us to make.
Here are the supplies you will need:

needle
thread
thick yarn (I used Lion Brand)
a G sized crochet hook
embellishments of your choice
1. First step is to chain stitch 25
and begin to single crochet

2. I didn't count how many rows that crocheted but I just stopped when it was a little bit longer than my DS. End your crochet but leave your tails long enough so that you can use them to stitch the sides together later.

3. Fold your crocheted piece in half so that it's the perfect little DS size now :)

4. Use your tails and weave them through your stitches to sew the open side together.

5. continue to weave in the tails through the bottom opening of your case as well :)

6. Now your case should look like this!

7. and now you just flip it inside out :)

8. Now it's time to add your embellishments!! I have a gumball machine filled with these cute crocheted circles. Take your needle and thread and apply them to your new case!!

9. and now admire the cuteness!

That was a lot of fun!! I still haven't decided if I want to add a zipper or a button and loop for closure. This cutie bag could be used for pretty much anything!! If you decide to make one, please leave me a comment with a link so I can check it out!
Also, opinion time...would you like to see more little D.I.Y. projects on my blog??
love you!
