How to Make a Homemade Kindle Case and Amaze Everyone
You’d be surprised how many avid readers spend their last dime getting their hands on a Kindle. They are awesome little devices, and why carry one book around with you when you can carry thousands? A lot of people, however, aren’t that thrilled with the Kindle case you get with the Kindle. But when you’ve busted the budget to get a Kindle and the only decent cases you can find cost half as much as the Kindle itself, you’ll find another way, thank you! Luckily, if you are reasonably creative you can make a terrific Kindle case yourself from stuff you already have, and spend next to nothing. And your Kindle case won’t look like those of the masses: it will be one-of-a-kind and perfect for your personality.
Nice looking wrapping paper, plus clear Contac paper for protection, plus an old unused book cover equals an original Kindle case that stands out from the crowd. You can get wrapping paper today in styles from funky to decorative, to very artistic, and if you check out the “everything’s a dollar” stores, you can get it for a great price too. Why not make a matching slip case for your Kindle while you’re at it?
Denim Kindle Case
Denim is perhaps the iconic American fabric: the most loved, most worn material most of us own. And you probably have a pair or two of cast-off jeans that you don’t wear anymore. Keep them out of the landfills and cut them up to make a groovy Kindle case! If you cut the fabric carefully, you can make your case so you have a handy pocket on the front and the back of your Kindle case for added storage. And denim is one of the best fabrics for providing softness as well as strength.
If you know how to sew straight seams and have a sewing machine and some fabric remnants around, then you have the makings of a designer Kindle case that will turn heads! Maybe you couldn’t bear to throw away that beautiful silk blouse that has an ink spot, but you can use the rest of the fabric to line a gorgeous Kindle case of your own making. It’s best to use multiple layers of fabric, and if you have some quilt batting, sandwich a layer in between to add some extra padding. It’s super easy to make a simple envelope case that fits your Kindle just right!

Antique Book Kindle Case
Here’s a way to turn the tables: make a Kindle cover from an old-school book! You could even make everyone think you’re reading The Canterbury Tales while you’re actually reading the latest steamy romance on your Kindle. Take a hardback or leather book, open it to about the middle, then glue the rest of the pages together by spreading Mod Podge or glue around the edges of the pages with a paint brush.
