Everyone needs to tote around a few devices these days, but when it comes to electronics cases, there aren’t too many fashionable and inexpensive options to choose from.
With DIY infused in my DNA, I am programmed to create things that make my life more beautiful and fun. Inspired by all of the bold striped patterns and color blocking styles seen on the runway this season, I thought it fitting to make my own iPad clutch out of common materials.
Even if you’re “craft-challenged,” I guarantee anyone can create a one-of-a-kind iPad case in about 15 minutes. Here’s how.
Ingredients
- Kitchen drawer liner (available at The Container Store, Bed Bath Beyond, Target - basically any home store)
- A sharp pair of scissors
- Colorful tape. I like duct tape, but gaffer's tape and even electrical tape will work. You can find what you need at most hardware and art stores.
- Velcro strips - available at most office supply stores, trim shops, and craft stores.
Step 1
Cut the drawer liner to the desired length. Two-thirds will become the pocket and the remaining third will be a flap closure that folds down over the pocket. Once you've got it cut to length, fold over one-third to create the pocket.
Step 2
Once you have measured your pocket, use a piece of tape to cover, secure, and wrap around the entire front and back. This will seal the edges.
Step 3
Continue to do so, adding pieces of tape around it un til you are satisfied...
