Hate seeing your iPad covered in cheap, boring cases? We felt the same, so we embarked on a challenge: create an iPad case that's lined, no-sew, and quick to assemble using Duck Tape. Here's how we did it!
Materials You'll Need:
- A fabric large enough to wrap around your iPad (cotton works best to protect the screen)
- 2 rolls of Duck Tape in your desired patterns (we used Wood Grain and Electric Blue)
- A pen or marker (preferably a dissolving fabric pen)
- A ruler
- Scissors
- A craft knife and cutting mat (for cleaner cuts and straight edges)
- Adhesive Velcro squares
This project is more like a protective sleeve than a traditional case, offering great scratch protection while being easy to slip into larger bags or cases. It does not provide drop protection.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Sketch Your iPad Case
- Lay your iPad on the fabric. Use the ruler to draw around it, leaving about 1/4" on all sides, except for the top flap (which should be long enough to fold over, ideally by about 1" to create a flap).
- Draw another smaller piece to cover the front of your iPad.
- Cut the Fabric Pieces
- Cut out all fabric pieces using scissors.
- Apply Duck Tape
- Cover the back side of each fabric piece with your main Duck Tape pattern, ensuring that the edges are fully covered. Trim any excess Duck Tape using your craft knife.
- Attach Edge Strips
- Cut five lengths of a second color of Duck Tape to fit around the edges of the iPad sleeve. Cut each piece in half using a craft knife.
- Apply these strips around the edges of the case, folding over the edges to secure.
- Create the Flap
- At the top of the flap, make a notch with the craft knife before folding the tape over.
- Add Velcro
- Attach Velcro squares to the top of the flap and the front of the case to keep it securely closed.
