The easiest ipad sleeve EVER tutorial

A tutorial? Yes! And the easiest one EVER! You know I have been looking for a nice sleeve for my ipad. And because I needeed something to protect the screen and to hide it from the munchkin (she loves it, and knows exactly how to use it, I had to switch on the locks so she wouldn't go and buy apps by herself) I had to figure out something temporary. And today it hit me!!! Easy to make, nearly free and completely and totally personal!

You need:
two pages of nice paper, I used pretty pages from my favorite magazine Flow,
A ruler
A knife or scissors (you get a better cut using a knife)
A laminating machine
A laminating pouch

Cut the paper to size by putting the sheets on top of eachother and making a rectangular shape sized 20,5 cm by 29 or 30 cm. The length is not that important, you'll be cutting it to size later anyway. Width is most important.

Place the sheets of paper exactly aligned in the laminating pouch.

Laminate the pouch with the two sheets. Make sure the sides are closed well, laminate twice if necessary.

Place the ruler on the pages and cut the top off, leaving about 27 centimeters of paper.

Open the pouch that you now have and place your ipad inside.

  6. The size of your sleeve depends on the size of your laminating pouch and laminating machine. If you find something larger than A4 you can go bigger. My machine can't laminate bigger than A4, unfortunately.
