DIY Cozy Guitar Cases

Etsy User ByMarieNicole Created Soft, Customized Cases from Blankets

— November 4, 2013 — Lifestyle
These amazing DIY guitar cases were made from wool and cotton blankets. An Etsy user took these household materials and repurposed them to fit guitars. She takes orders through the website and makes the cases customized to fit your specific guitar based on its size, shape and weight.

Handmade materials are so trustworthy because the makers focus on every detail to handcraft something durable and high quality for each customer. The blankets she uses are also vibrant and soft so you can be sure you have a one-of-a-kind accessory.

These guitar cases are also a great choice for people who have bigger guitars. The designer was inspired by the character she sees in old blankets and wanted to give them a new purpose. Customers can even personalize their cases by asking to have their initials or name stamped on a leather plaque.
