Welcome to all permanent readers and new visitors to the Internet magazine "Handwork and Creative"! Today we decided to share with you the next idea of creating a protective accessory for devices that have already managed to become a symbol of modernity and progress. We are talking about iPod. Case from the skin with your own hands - this accessory is always in fashion, it does not wear out for a long time and does not lose its appearance, and protects against moisture. Here, as promised, we share the instructions for creating this useful thing.
Required materials and tools:
- Some skin, preferably thickening;
- Dense paper (cardboard);
- awl;
- stupid metal object;
- glue;
- sharp knife or blade;
- water;
- Scotch.
Measures
To begin with, measure the size of your iPod-A, transfer them to cardboard and cut off the blade.
Round the corners in the form, as on the phone, i.e. Make an exact copy of your gadget from cardboard. After that, wrap it with additional layers of paper and fix with a tape or scotch.
Skin preparation
Cut two pieces of leather in accordance with patched shapes, only add 2 cm from each edge.
It is necessary to impregnate the skin in water. After she absorbs the water, the skin will change its color, it will become softer and supplied to work. So, put wet skin on a pre-prepared form on both sides, squeeze tightly. Be sure to see for forms to lay exactly. Take a stupid metal object and start smoothing all the edges around the form. It is very good that the skin is wetted, so it will easily succumb to the formation.
Tip! If the surface of the wet skin is strongly pressing a solid object with a pattern, then on the surface of the skin cover you will get embossed - your unique logo created by your own hands.
