Here's an easy DIY project to customize your iPod!
First I bought a clear plastic case for my guy. Guess how much?
ONE DOLLAR

If you don't have a Dollar Tree near you that sells them, you can find them inexpensively online as well, such as:
Then I downloaded a template for my iPod nano 3rd gen here. You could find outlines for several other versions here. I printed the template out onto designed scrapbook paper, and cut along the straight lines (the pink ones).
Then I laid in both pieces...
And snapped it together!!
BONUS- I used a two-sided scrapbook paper, so I get two designs with each cut-out!
The possibilities to make YOUR ipod custom are truly endless. You could use colored paper or scrapbook paper of any sort, wrapping paper, or any place you find a design you love. Or, even draw your own!

what a great idea! that's perfect for people like me who can't stand to have the same type of cover for over a month! ha ha ha
ReplyDeletei'm the same way, i always feel like changing the look of things after a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Dan got me an mp3 player for Christmas so I'm going to have to steal this idea! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeleteNow I gotta get me an ipod so I can have the cool custom case!!
Wow such a cool tutorial!! Do you know if i can find there covers for G2 iPods? Sorry, i just don't want to join the forum to then realize they don't have :/.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing it. I just bought one of the clear cases from the dollar tree a few weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be trying this with lamanant paper - the cut and peel kind. :/ i'm not sure how it's going to go yet, but i've been everywhere in town and no one has clear cases for the 3rd generation anymore! *sigh* oh well. here we go. wish me luck.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? This is a great idea. Its cute. But its not craft. Craft requires more than this.
ReplyDeleteIts a cute, simple, cheap cut&stick project.
What a cool idea!!! I have a G4 iPod Nano and my older Granddaughter has a G2 iPod Nano...so, I'll be on the lookout for a clear case for them both, so I can try this myself!!! She LOVES anything pink, and her Nano is a plain ole silver...so she will be thrilled with this!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great crafting idea!!

I didn't realize that the dollar store sold the covers (the are regularly $20 retail). I went and bought a case this evening. That tip alone is worth the big thank you but the tip about how to make the case your own, priceless.
ReplyDeletePoo, I tried this with my iPod Touch and the case I already had, but I can't get the case to snap closed with the pieces in place. I trimmed them down as far as I could without losing the entire design on the front, and still, won't snap shut. =/
ReplyDeleteI can not get the file to open am I doing something wrong or ca someone open this for me?
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS!!!!!!! There's nothing I love better than great finds from the Dollar Store that you can alter.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
