What you need for this project:
-Duct tape
-A piece of fabric (I used flannel) - about 6x15"

Tools:
-Scissors
-Ruler

Optional, but helpful:
-Cutting Mat
-Rotary Cutter
-Goo Gone (rub on blades to keep them from sticking to duct tape)
-Your phone to measure

To make:
1. Cover your fabric with duct tape on one side, overlapping the duct tape at each strip's edges.

2. Trim a piece of the duct tape fabric that measures about 14" long and 2.5" wide. Trim one edge to a point.

3. Cut two pieces of the duct tape fabric that measure about 3.75" long and .5" wide.

4. Put the two small pieces on the center of a piece of duct tape.

5. Attach the side pieces to the sides straight end of the main piece (should end up looking kind of like a T) -- these are your "wings."

6. Put your phone on the top of the T, and wrap the long end of the strap up and around the bottom of the phone.

7. With your phone still inside the long strap, fold the wings up over the back side of the strap.

8. You should now have a pouch. All that's left to do now is add a strap to secure the front flap.

9. Cut a piece of duct tape about 5.5" long. Fold it one-third up on the long end of the tape. Then fold down the top over the first fold. You should end up with a narrow, long strap.

10. Wrap the strap around the front of the case, not too tight. The backs of the strap should wrap around the back of the case.

11. Secure the back of the strap to the back of the case with duct tape.

12. You're done. The front flap should slide easily in and out under the strap. Your phone should slide easily in and out of the case, but be pretty snug and secure inside.
