Alright, a month ago I got a new laptop , and so of course my old laptop sleeve didn't fit into this new laptop. This should just be a simple fix right, go to the store and buy a new one, well no its not, every store around my house had a laptop sleeve that was at least 20 bucks! Well I thought what the heck, I'll make one myself. And a roll of duct tape later I had my laptop sleeve , and so here's how you can make your own!

Now this blue laptop sleeve is my original one with some special blue duct-tape I had and I added a masking tape logo onto it, but I'm going to have to make another because obviously I didn't take pictures the first time, so follow along. :)

Step 1: Materials

I honestly can't say much is needed as far as materials , because well this is the nothing but duct tape instructable. But it is good to have some scissors to help cut your duct-tape and having a laptop to actually base your sizes off of helps too. You may also want to have some white masking tape if you want to put on a apple logo like mine, but I'll talk more about customization in the final step.  One other tip I can say is be careful when you lay down the tape because it is very sticky and the smoother your tape the better your case will look.

Yeah, Apple logo, Dell laptop. People might think you have a Macbook.

I love the idea, it reminds me of a giant duct tape wallet! One suggestion lose the apple logo, get ubuntu.
