My Crochet Today Recycled Cell Phone Cozy

I love the way this cozy turned out!
The picture doesn't do it justice.
The idea came to me while making a rag rug.

This is made totally from upcycled / recycled materials right down to the button.
The button is a gold color.
It is attached using a cotton strip for added strength.
The loop closure can also be used as a convenient carry handle.

Will snugly fit items that Measures approx. 2 1/2" x 4" with a 1" button.
I used a LG cell phone as a model for this.
