Edit Project: Stapled felt cover for E-Book reader

Free text:

Quick hack: I made a cover for E-book reader using stapler :) It took me an hour, and I had all the materials at home, but they are really easy to find (...mostly Hema). =Step by step instructions= What you need is: felt, velcro, stapler, scissors. <gallery perrow=4> Cut felt to measure: size of E-Book reader + 1cm extra on every side. Image:cover for ebook reader - 01.jpg Staple the outer corners first, planning to have them as "triangles". I started with 2 staples on each side... Image:cover for ebook reader - 02.jpg ... but that was too little so I added 3rd staple. // Cut the "triangles" off. Image:cover for ebook reader - 03.jpg Now, add one of the inner corners. Staple on the narrow side of "reader". Image:cover for ebook reader - 04.jpg Then fold the cover, and staple from the OUTSIDE of the wide side of the "reader". Image:cover for ebook reader - 05.jpg Try if the reader fits in, and adjust by stapling extra here-and-there.

Image:cover for ebook reader - 07.jpg Cut velcro in pieces that fit the width of ribbons. Image:cover for ebook reader - 08.jpg Staple velcro to the "bottom" of the cover.

Image:cover for ebook reader - 10.jpg Add some extra staples, to make velcro more attached to the ribbon. Image:cover for ebook reader - 11.jpg This is how it looks finished, from the outside!
