DIY AirPods Case Pattern & Tutorial

To help protect my case and keep it clipped onto my purse, I used kraft-tex to sew a simple AirPods case! Do you want to DIY your own AirPods case? This free pattern will work with kraft-tex, cork, or leather. Let's get started!

DIY Apple AirPods Storage Case

Materials:

8" x 8" piece of kraft-tex, cork, or leather
1" wide swivel clip
9.5mm metal snaps and setting tool
scissors
sewing machine and contrasting thread
white school glue
AirPods case pattern (printed at 100% scale)

Cutting:

From kraft-tex
- Cut 1 Airpods case template from pattern
- Cut 1 strip 3/4" x 2 1/4" for swivel clip

Directions:

1. Using a contrasting thread, machine stitch 1/8" from the edge around the pattern piece cut from kraft-tex. Sew slowely and carefully.

2. Use the pattern piece to mark the placement for the swivel clip loop on the right side of the kraft-tex.

3. Fold the kraft-tex strip in half, threading it through the end of the swivel clip. Place the two ends over the bottom of the marked rectangle.

4. Stitch a box with an "X" through it to secure the loop to the kraft-tex.

5. Place the AirPods on top of the wrong side of the kraft-tex. Fold the left flap in.

6. Fold the right flap in, over top of the left flap.

7. Fold the bottom flap up over the two previous flaps.

8. Fold the top flap down, over the three previous flaps. This gives you the basic shape of the AirPods case. Next, we'll attach the snaps.

9. Use the pattern piece to mark the snap placement. Attach one male snap to the wrong side of the top flap and one female snap to the right side of the bottom flap, as shown. (The other side of the top snap is blue, to match my case.)

Test the snaps before the next step, which is gluing.

10. Use white school glue to secure wrap the right flap over the left flap.

11. Here, I've flipped the case upside down. Add more school glue on top of the left-right side flaps, now wrapped around the AirPods case. Fold the bottom flap up and over the glue.

12. Press the snaps together, leaving the AirPods inside the case overnight or until it dries. Once it's dry, you can slip out the AirPods and admire your handiwork!

Ta-da! The swivel clip makes it easy to take my AirPods on the go.

I think I'll sew up this case in a few different colors so I can accessorize! I love how this turned out, and think it's even cuter than any of the leather AirPods cases I found while perusing the Internet.
