Learn to crochet with beads and make the pretty Beaded Eyeglass Case. It’s easier than it looks! And it will make a nice gift for anyone really as we all wear some sort of glasses these days.
The eyeglass case measures about 7 inches long and 3.75 inches wide. You have an option to make it into cell phone case too! Just don’t decrease the stitches on the edge rounds.
