Now you can craft cute covers for your nail files out of any fabric you wish! While many nail files do come with adorable designs all over them, they quickly rub off and leave an unsightly, scaly mess. A fabric nail file cover is the creative solution to this problem! Begin by checking out our latest designer fabric online to stock up on your favorite styles and get started!
File this under adorable!
The upside to this simple craft is two-fold: you get a pretty new do-dad, and the nail file will no longer damage your handbag or similar carrying case!
You will need:
• Fabric, fabric, fabric! Trust me, you will want to make a dozen of these once you begin, so buy plenty of fabric designs. Pro-tip: These make wonderful gifts for the girly friends or metro men! NFL fabric is available should you wish to create a manly cover.
• Scissors
• Needle and thread or Mr. Singer
We all know these cute decorative files do not stay cute for long! The solution is a fabric emory board slip cover.
What to do:
• Cut fabric 23cm x 10cm (approximately)
• Next, press fabric under 1cm, then 2cm across one end and stitch. Remember: Pressing and ironing are different. To press, you lay iron down and pick back up, do not slide back and forth.
• You may opt for a decorative stitch, it will make for a more interesting slipcover!
• Now fold the fabric in half lengthwise, placing right sides together. Stitch the sides and bottom together with 1cm allowance.
• To finish, simply turn right side out and press!
