  • Hello Shiners! How's it going? So the other day, Eric and I were talking, and I told him,

  • "I feel like 'hello guys' and 'hey everyone' seems so impersonal." And he suggested

  • Shiners. I don't know, do you guys like it? I like it, I think it's very cute. A lot of

  • you guys have also been requesting for a DIY pencil case or makeup case. Anything to kind

  • of store your accessory, make up or back-to school supplies. So I came up with three designs

  • that I really liked, and that I think you guys will like too. Two of the designs can

  • be applied for those of you who don't have a sewing machine. I reinvented these methods

  • to make them more user friendly and for those of you guys who don't have a sewing machine.

  • Design number one and number three are great for the glue method, and number two is for

  • sewing. But if you do have a sewing machine, then you can make all three of them. So I

  • hope you guys will like this, and let's get started!

  • Okay, so we're going to start with

  • design number one. You will need a piece of fabric that is 15 inches wide and 10 inches

  • long. I like to use upholstery fabric because it is thick and durable. You will also need

  • a 9 inch zipper. If you are going to use glue, then I recommend Aleene's glue from

  • Joann's fabric store. This is one of my favorite permanent fabric glues to use. So first cut

  • out your fabric 15 inches wide and 10 inches long. Then on each side, fold in half an inch

  • into the wrong side of the fabric, like so. Now take out the zipper and place that in

  • the center with the right side facing up. Now with the glue, place it along the side

  • of the zipper just like how I'm doing it here, then gently place the fold of the fabric over

  • with the right side facing outward. Do the same thing on the other side. After you're

  • done, just gently pull down the zipper and let this dry for a good hour or so before

  • moving onto the next step. Now the glue usually takes about 10 hours to fully dry, but after

  • one hour, you should be ready to move onto the next step. Just remember to carefully

  • handle your case with care. So once everything is set and dry, you can now turn this inside

  • out. And what you're going to want to do next is glue the sides in. So with the wrong sides

  • facing out, you're going to glue the right sides together. After you finish glueing,

  • let this set for a good hour or so before you turn this inside out. Again, let this

  • set for at least a full hour before you turn this inside out. After 24 hours, you can use

  • this and even wash the finished product if necessary. Once you get this down, you can

  • turn this into any size that you'd like, and have fun with it!

  • Okay, so are you guys ready for this next design? So this is a fun way to store makeup and pretty much anything you'd

  • like. In this tutorial, I will be sewing my case, now the first step is very similar to

  • design number one. Have a piece of fabric that is 15 inches wide and 10 inches high.

  • Now create a half inch seam allowance by folding in half an inch on each side, just like what

  • I'm doing here. To sew in the 9 inch zipper, I will be placing the right side of the zipper

  • to the right side of the fabric. Notice here how I'm aligning the zipper to the half-inch

  • seam allowance fold line I made earlier. You want to use the fold line as a guide reference.

  • Make sure to put the zipper teeth over the fold area, just enough so that you that you

  • can zipper up later. Now I'm using pins to hold this in place. And before sewing, make

  • sure you have your zipper foot put into the machine. Now, if you've never done this before,

  • I highly recommend that you use the manual that comes with your machine.

  • So now that you are done sewing both sides of the zipper, go ahead and turn this inside out.

  • Okay, so to give my bag a more box-like dimension, what I'm going to do now is take the sides

  • in and fold it under, just like how I'm doing it here. I'm going to do this on both sides.

  • Here, I'm just taking some pins to hold it in place before I sew this.

  • And now I'm just going to sew both ends, straight down.

  • Okay guys! So we are going to finish this off with design number three. Now this last design can be either glued or sewn together, depends

  • on you. You can apply the same method I showed you in the last two designs for the zipper

  • part. Here I have a piece of cloth that is 10.5 inches wide by 16 inches long. I'm using

  • an old zipper stored in my sewing bin that is longer than I really need, but this can

  • be easily fixed by sewing it through the length needed and then snipping off any extra. Okay,

  • so after sewing or glueing the zipper on, make sure to have the zipper unzipped and

  • turn the wrong sides out. Then you can either sew or glue the sides together.

  • So after that's done, if you're sewing, fold the corners on the bottom together, like so.

  • Then measure one-inch out, and then sew it.

  • Now you're ready to turn it inside out, and that is basically it.

  • So if you are using the glue method, then turn this inside out first, and then push the corners

  • in one inch, just like what I'm doing here, and then let the glue set for a day before

  • using this. So that is basically it guys! I hope you enjoyed this video! Don't forget

  • to thumbs up if you do and subscribe if you haven't. Let me know if you guys have any

  • other ideas you would like for me to make or create, and comment below.

  • Talk to you next time! Love you! Ciao!
