DIY iPod MP3 case
Posted by Sophie on Tuesday, November 6th, 2007
Found this adorable DIY iPod case instructional. This iPod mp3 case is the cutest one I’ve ever seen and it’s homemade! Looks like a fun project to do. This nano case would be a great stocking stuffer for the holidays and even more special cause you made it.
It’s time for a new winter outfit for my MP3. Woohoo!
Cut out 2 same size felt sheets for each – front, back and cover.
(Pic showing back, front, cover. I used different color for the back)
Front: Put 2 sheets together and do a buttonhole stitch
(stich only on the top part and around 2 open windows – just like the pic!)
Put 2 back sheets together with the completed front piece then do the
buttonhole stitch all around it except for the opening where the ear piece
inserts below & the sides where the sheep ears will be added.
The cover piece, put on a sheep face and apply the lolipop decor…
Attach the sheep ears. I decided to stitch in the
black cat instead of a lolipop piece.
Whoah…sweating! Gluing on the cat would’ve
been easier but prettier if it’s stitched in.
Add the eyelets! Love these little things. :)
I insert my favorite green leather string through the eyelets & secure.
Oops, forgot the pic – buttonhole stitch the cover piece to the main
case at the very top (see the darker top stitching in the last pic?)
Attach a little plastic snap button for closure. A hook might work too.
You can also attach an ear piece wire holder on the back side…genius!
(stitch in the bottom part & add the snap button at the top for an easy open/close)
Use the sheep ears to hang the ear piece…heeheehee…so cute! :)
Now you have your one and only – the best DIY i-Pod nano case ever!

Do you have patterns for this project? I’d like to make this for my friend as a Christmas gift but I don’t have an Ipod to do the measurements! Also how’d you make the sheep’s face…its soo cute!

awesome- thanks for sharing!
a friend just bought one of these ipods for herself yesterday- any chance you could share the dimensions that used- so I could make it for her without having to measure it?!
thanks!
