Fleece Scraps Pouch For Kids Is Perfect For Holding Magnifying Glasses!
Last week just before my favorite little four year old was to arrive for a visit, I quickly whipped up a pouch to hold the magnifying glass I had promised him on his last visit. And of course since I love giving the kind of gifts that are truly exciting and will be used, I made a pouch with a strap so that it could be worn across the body, and added straps to the magnifying glasses so they could be worn around the neck, for convenience and because the largest magnifying glass is actually glass, and keeping it safely around the neck does seem like the best way to keep it intact!
The good news? The gift was so well received that it was worn constantly for a few days, yippee! Ah yes, and for those of you who have been following me since Chanukah 2015, well, yes I actually made this pouch back then, and called it quick and cute fleece gift pouch.
And I will say, I was so thankful to come across this lone pouch that was for some reason hanging around with no tie, as I was able to refashion it for this project with minimal time committment, which was the only way to go just before receiving house guests! Want to make one or several to give to the little explorers in your life? Let's get started!
You'll Need:
- fleece scraps
- fleece scraps gift pouch tutorial
- t-shirt yarn and 10mm crochet hook
- needle and trhead or sewing machine
- magnifying glasses, maybe one good one and a few inexpensive plastic ones, you know, to share with friends!
- high tack permanent glue (optional)
How To:
First buy your magnifying glass so you'll know how big the pouch needs to be, then make pouch in accordance with that. I made my pouch with a crocheted t-shirt yarn chain strap, which was sewn to the inside of the pouch on two sides, and with a simple tie, that was also sewn to the middle outside of the pouch. Straps for magnifying glasses were either just t-shirt yarn, or for the larger one, again a crocheted chain using t-shirt yarn. I tightly tied the straps to the magnifying glass handles, but preferably they should be glued so that little kids don't pull them off. You decide!
I think you'll enjoy making this sweet and simple gift for the little explorers in your life, I know I did! And when the recipient of the gift said to me "let's go outside and look for bugs" well of course my heart melted!
