Twelfth Day of Christmas: Tablet Cover

It's the Twelfth Day of CKC Christmas already - can you believe it? We hope you have enjoyed all of our free tutorials! Today we are sharing our final one and you're going to love it. But first we want to announce that we're having a Twelve Days of Christmas Singing Contest! Oh yes we are, and the winner will win a 3-pattern pack from CKC. All you need to do is record a video of yourself, or kids or spouse, singing the song lyrics below (one time through is enough). Your voices don't have to be amazing but we'd love to hear you sing your heart out for all of us! To enter our contest, please email your video or youtube link to kristen@createkidscouture.com. We need to receive your videos by 6 pm EST on Friday, December 20 to be eligible. Please be aware that the winning video will probably be posted on the blog and Facebook. Let's all have some fun with it as we share the CKC love!

Now for today's free tutorial:  



  On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, CKC gave to me...
A Cover for my Tablet
Amazing Paper Dolls
 Fancy Fabric Crown
 Scrappy Photo Banner
Pretty Lace Bracelet
 Fox named Felix 
 Crayon Roll for kids
♪   Cozy for my Cup!   
A handy Scrap Catcher,
 Stylish D-Ring Belt,
  Ruffled Camera Strap --
And a Stocking to put my gifts in!  




Today we have a free tutorial for you to make a cover case for your tablet!  I love how festive this cover is. We give instructions for making four different sizes of tablet covers, which will fit fourteen different tablets on the market! There's a pretty good chance that one of these will fit your tablet or your loved ones' tablets. Think of what great gifts these would be! 



 Inside the cover, your tablet will be held snugly in place by elastic on all four corners, and there's even a pocket there for whatever you like to stash in pockets. (Um, everything?) The tablet is fully accessible and easy to use even while it has the cover on.



You can also make a cover for your more traditional type of tablet!
(I'm thinking this would go perfectly with our Crayon Roll as a gift.)




Each time you're done using your tablet you can just close it right up and it stays safe and secure, not to mention stylish, until you need it again. (Probably five minutes later.)

Go ahead and give our tablet tutorial a try for yourself. Then if you're like me, you'll get hooked and want to make one for everyone you know!  (Hint: These can be done in manly styles too! Think faux leather or his favorite sports team.) Click here to download our free Tablet Cover Pattern. We would love to see the covers you make for your tablets, so please share!

ps - Please note that some of "fusible fleece" measurements are off. We are getting it corrected, but in the meantime you will want to wait until you get to that step before cutting the fusible fleece. Cut the fusible fleece 1/2" smaller than your finished size before inserting it.
