DIY iPod Cover

Have you ever felt that no one sells very nice covers for iPod and only for iPhone? Want a cheap way to have nice cases without splurging on buying them online? Well, here's the tutorial for you. This is my first tutorial so I hope i can give very clear instructions so all you people can enjoy your beautiful iPod cases . My camera died so I had to use the iPad. Sorry for the unclear pictures. Also, don't be discouraged if you have an iPhone, iPad, or any other devices actually. This is a very simple DIY that can be applied to all devices. You just need the clear case (according to your device, of course) and the right measurements. Lets get started! Here's the stuff you need:

1)Pencil
2)Scissors
3)A design that you want as an iPod cover. (make sure it is in portrait or not the full picture wont fit! Unless you want the design to be landscape ) I printed my design on Microsoft Power Point. The slide is in landscape and 3 pictures should fit side by side. Its okay if there are extra's.

4)A clear casing. I got mine for RM10 at my local night market. Sadly, I only have this one but it works just as fine. Make sure is has sides that grip onto the edges of your iPod. I recommend you get a silicon one. It's much better and it protects your iPod too!

5) Your iPod (of course) (i can see my iPad lol)

 

Now, lets get onto making! First you would want to lay your iPod face down against your desired picture. Then, use a pencil and draw around the ipod. 

Remove the iPod and cut out the design. Don't worry, we'll draw in the holes for the charger, speaker, ear phones later. 

 After you cut it out, place the design into your clear case. Make sure you face the design inwards. (the white surface facing you). Fit the design in properly and don't worry if you see any folds. push the design gently against the casing, flip it around and draw the outline of the camera hole and whatever hole there is on the cover with a pencil.tle tricky. 

Take the design back out, and cut out all the holes. Its optional if you want to cut out holes for the volume and power button. I choose to not do it. The camera hole is a little tricky. Fold the part of the camera hole gently without making any lines on the design, cut a small hole big enough for your scissors to fit through and cut out the hole.

After you are done cutting all the holes, put the design back into the cover but this time, put your iPod too. Yes, you're done. Now, isn't that simple? Now, since you made your design, you don't have to repeat all these steps to make a new one. Just use the one you have and draw the outlines. Enjoy all the purdy designs you'll be making. Don't be surprised if your friends ask you where you get your casing. ;) Here's my other designs. (I'm a major swiftie if you guys didn't notice.)
