The usual pocket DIY project often calls for some kind of needle and thread, however, this nifty craft is far more simple and efficient.

Titled the 'No-Sew Pocket DIY' this project serves to add an adorable little pocket to a shirt of the maker's choice. Since this DIY is a no-sew craft, it requires minimal materials and effort. Using an [old scarf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-coat), a [pocket-less shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection), an iron and a bottle of fabric glue, this craft can be performed by most skill levels.

Though the pocket DIY is used on a basic button-down shirt, this craft can also be used to add pockets to other garments and accessories. Using the same materials, makers can add pockets to jeans, [bags and more](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-budget-bag).
