Rock out this Halloween in this fun iPod dress!

If your looking for a cute and simple Halloween costume this year look no further.  The iPod takes 30 minutes to make and will look adorable at any party.  Best of all: cost of materials is under $20!

Customize it to your favorite artist or song.  You can even wear this dress with a group of friends.  I actually got this idea from some friends in college and thought it was a great idea!!!

It's nice and the best thing it's that you're using another of your instructables as baseline to do this one.

Love it.... it's a great "costume" for those who aren't quite into Halloween but fear being mocked for not wanting to wear a costume!!!

Cute, but just be aware that some drunk will most likely try and push your "play" button.

They do make printable heat transfers for dark fabric now. The process is a bit different, but I have used them with GREAT success. These dark t-shirt transfers do not need to be "flipped." Instead you peel them off a backing, position them, and place parchment over them while ironing. Since the transfer itself is white... they allow you to have white in your design, even on a non-white shirt.

Looks like a fun costume. If you have any male friends that are adventurous, have them dress up as a pair of earbuds!
Oct 7, 2011. 3:02 PMjavajunkie1976 says:
Actually, now that I think about. You could wear this as a tribute to Steve Jobs!

Nice, this design is so good you almost don't even have to use it as a Halloween costume as opposed to just very fashionable wear. Like if you're cosplaying at Mac World.

GREAT Costumes! All very hot by the way!
Oct 6, 2011. 12:23 PMzazenergy says:
