Today's Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.34,0:00:18.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,challenge was suggested by Nekorit cx, who\Nwanted me to try and recreate this iPhone Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.87,0:00:24.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,case. Now I do personally think that this\Naccessory is - ridiculous - but on this shop, Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.92,0:00:30.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Velvet Caviar, it does retail for $43, and\NI'm pretty sure that I can recreate this for Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.46,0:00:34.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lot cheaper. So, challenge accepted! Let's\Nbegin.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.75,0:00:46.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I know that the case in the original is\Nactually a Rilakkuma bear, but if I was going Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.87,0:00:50.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out and buying a Rilakkuma bear for new – that\Nwould kinda of defeat the purpose of this Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.85,0:00:52.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,series. Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.03,0:00:54.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I’m working with what I was able to\Nthrift. Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.70,0:00:58.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I did buy one thing for new – and that\Nwas this plain, stiff iPhone case that I found Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.96,0:01:00.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the dollar store for $2. Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.42,0:01:05.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For this project I also needed craft glue,\Nscissors, a needle and thread, and some kind Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.78,0:01:10.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of thick material. I’m using PVC, but you\Ncould also use canvas or denim. You will also Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.64,0:01:16.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,need one stone cold, evil heart that makes\Nyou totally okay with cutting up a cute teddy bear.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.14,0:01:23.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I flipped the bear over onto its front and\Nfound the seam in the middle of it’s back. Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.25,0:01:28.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then cut up this seam. Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.05,0:01:31.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I then removed a bunch of stuffing to make\Nthe bear a bit thinner, and to make room for Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.87,0:01:33.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the phone case to sit in. Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.52,0:01:37.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So then I cut this slit to the same length\Nas the iphone case. Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.48,0:01:49.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then I made equal-sized 4 cuts at the\Ntop and bottom of the slit, like this, so Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.33,0:01:55.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that when I fold back the excess fabric, this\Nhole is going to be the same size as the phone case. Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.24,0:02:01.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, with the piece of PVC, I used the case\Nas a template and I drew around it, adding Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.28,0:02:07.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about an extra inch on each side. I then cut\Nout this piece of PVC, and then I kind of… Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.37,0:02:11.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just jammed it into the back of my bear like\Nthis. Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.55,0:02:16.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I folded these side flaps over the side of\Nthe PVC material, and then, with my needle Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.33,0:02:21.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and thread, I sewed the PVC into the bear,\Nattaching it to the bear’s… skin(?) Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.87,0:02:26.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also realized too late that this process\Nwould have been a lot easier if I had cut Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.42,0:02:29.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,away small corners of the PVC like this before\Ninserting it. Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.90,0:02:35.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, I’d already sewed half of it in, so\NI kept sewing, and it seemed to work out alright anyway. Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.16,0:02:40.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I grabbed my craft glue. I squeezed\Nthe glue all over the PVC lining that I’ve Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.25,0:02:45.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,made, and onto the back of the phone case.\NThen I placed the phone case into the bear Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.94,0:02:50.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on top of the piece of PVC, hoped for the\Nbest, and I also waited about an hour for Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.98,0:02:54.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it to dry. Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.08,0:02:55.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that’s it!

It's just SO ridiculous that it's become Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.51,0:03:27.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kind of fantastic.\NI mean, calling people is now a lot more fun: Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.97,0:03:31.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Hey, it's me.
