Create Real working iPod Costume(s)

Step 6Arm Hole cover (Optional)

Arm Hole cover (Optional)
This step is optional, but I tried to imagine if it were a cold Halloween evening, I'd want to limit the amount of drafty air getting through the arm holes.  I thought if there were some type of elastic port opening, that could work nicely.  So, I used a leg stocking my daughter out grew from a dance recital, stretched it by using a circular piece of cardboard an inch bigger in width than the arm hole.  Since the cardboard insert was used to stretch out the stocking, I sprayed one side to match whichever iPod costume I was going to glue it to.  Once dry, you can hot glue it to the inside of the box.  This will require some precision since you're only putting glue on the rim of the hole, remember, the cardboard inside is only an inch larger in width than the hole itself. 

Once the hot glue has dried, removed the cardboard insert from inside the stocking - Presdo...you have an elastic cover.  I then make a slit to allow the arm to pass through, it's sure to make a difference if it's cold, plus it adds a cleaner look to the iPod overall.
