Flex eyeglass frames should be carefully stored in a protective case, to keep them safe from damage to the frames and scratches on the lenses. Heavy wool felt, found at fabric stores, is perfect for the job. The soft and durable felt will cushion the frames while protecting them. As an added bonus, wool felt will not ravel, making this sewing project a snap. Stitch up a bunch of these attractive cases in bright colors that will be easy to spot inside a dark purse for practical gifts.
