Duct tape laptop case - without the cardboard

I have seen a few duct tape laptop case instructables but they either involved modifying a jiffy bag (which is a good idea but just didn’t look ‘pretty’ or ‘neat’ enough for me personally ) or cardboard for the main padding and protection for the laptop (which doesn’t look like I would protect it enough for me... I would always be paranoid it would break still in my bag).So I have to admit I stole my ex boyfriends idea of using bubble wrap for the padding :) So this is how I made my duct tape laptop case.... and my first instuctable

Step 1 Step 1 - Materials needed

You will need:

• 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)
• Celotape
• Bubble wrap
• Sharp scissors
• Paper

 

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.

can you make this without using bubblewrap?

You could however the bubble wrap gives it a bit more protection but it would still work, you would just need to do a double layer (so both inside and outside) so it doesnt just stick to the laptop, or use something like a plastic bag
