Custom iPad Sleeve

I have a confession to make. I cheated on my Sleeve 360 iPad case. I never thought I would need another case (and I don't), but I guess I have a wandering eye for iPad accessories. Browsing the web, I came across this article about a homemade iPad case, made simply out of felt and metal eyelets. I loved it. I wanted to make my own, only prettier.

This is what I came up with:



Like the iPad sleeve in the other article, this was surprisingly inexpensive to make. Five bucks for the felt, four for the brass eyelets, and two for the satin ribbon. Of course, putting the eyelets in turned out to be no easy feat. I'm pretty sure I have now ruined any relationship I may have had with my surrounding neighbors. Hammering those eyelets was tedious and LOUD. But look how pretty!
