Kindle 3 DIY Light

Step 7 Create the Inside Front Cover and Finish

Create the inside front cover exactly the same way as the inside back cover.  Add a few finishing touches and your K3 DIY light hack is complete.

1) Use the attached template to cut out a piece of thin cardboard.

2) Attach the felt using hot glue.  Trim the corners to make a nice rounded and even fit.

3) Use hot glue to attach the inside cover to the front inside of the book.

4) Use hot glue to attach the inside back cover to the back of the book.  I added an extra elastic band behind the back cover to help secure the front cover from flapping open.

6) Cut a small piece of 2.5 mm bass wood to cover the switch and glue it down.

7) Enjoy!


Please let me know what you think of this post.  I'd love to see any improvements you all come up with.  I am not completely satisfied with my solution and may re work a few elements.  I'd love to incorporate some of the awesome ideas I see poke up on this site added to this project.
