Step 1: Step 1 - Materials needed
- The laptop you want to make the case for
- 1x Roll of duct tape in the colour you want (I used black to match the laptop)
- Bubble wrap
- Sharp scissors
NOTE: The duct tape tends to gum up the scissors so wipe them between cutting each piece to keep the edges clean or they tend to fray and stay sticky, come unglued etc...
The total cost for everything I needed was £6.
Step 2: Step 2 - Making the padded wallet for the case
I celotaped the join in the middle so that it wouldn’t make the edges of the case rough.
Place the laptop at one end and use it to tape the edges down so you are effectively making an envelope for the laptop. NOTE: be careful at this point to not tape it too tight or you won’t be able to get the laptop back out, let alone when it get tighter when the duct tape is added.
Check you can remove the laptop. It’s now ready for the next stage.
