The Nothing-but-Duct-tape Laptop Bag !

The Nothing-but-Duct-tape Laptop Bag !

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. :)

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.

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