iPod Cozies

These iPod cases are really simple to put together and cost pennies to make. For a pocket or sleeve style cozy: cut a piece of felt that is the size of 2 iPods, lengthwise, and one iPod wide plus a little extra felt for the seem. Stitch some felt cutouts onto what will become the front of the case, fold the felt in half and stitch the sides together using a basic blanket stitch.

I've made a couple variations with fabric lining, button closures, multiple layers for pockets, and a hole on the bottom to allow for easy iPod charging. I made the more complicated Owl case by creating a template from a preexisting case. The best part about the cozies is that the felt is so soft, it wont scratch your iPod at all.

Funky iPod and Laptop skins

This doesn't count as a creation of mine at all, but I found a site that sells some neat iPod and laptop skins and figured it was worth passing on.

The site is gelaskins.com. Most of the artwork I've looked at so far is from Canadian artists and a skin like the one displayed os only $15! They're selling in a bunch of locations around the globe or you can order right from there site. For anyone that has an iPhone or iPod Touch you can also download wallpaper for your device to match your chosen skin.

Maybe best of all... they're removable! So no worrying about permanently changing the face of your laptop or iPod.
