Step 2Mould to the DS
Next, lay your DS on the main body you have just created. The game boy slot edge of your DS should align with the 11cm down strips we took out as shown in the diagram. It should also be in the middle!
Next, fold up the bottom section of the main body of your DS. It should be snug, but not too tight. Holding the DS in place, you should press down on the upperside of the main body and bring yup the bottom corner, as if you were wrapping a square box. The bottom edge you have pulled up should align with the 11cm in trimmed edge. Fold in the bottom corner, making sure its well tucked in like in the second picture. Then bring up the outer edge and press it flat against the other side. Smooth down the folds, and make sure you are happy with the fit. Let it relax back.
Cut a piece of duck tape the length of the outer section you folded in. Now, repeat the step you just did, and stick down the outer piece with the duck tape you just cut. It should look like the third picture.
Repeat the same for the other side. It should be a little easier now you have one side completed. Make it snug, but not so much that its a struggle to get your DS in and out! It should now look like the final picture. As you can see, we now have a reasonable duck tape case for our DS. But what is a DS without games? Lets carry on and add some game cases now to finish the job.
