Dec 19, 2012
Oh, the search for the perfect laptop sleeve. We’ve tried to make this treasure hunt a bit easier, by sharing our favorite purses that double as laptop bags and swooning over all sorts of color customization by Rickshaw Bagworks, but sometimes the readymade case just do the job.
If you’re looking for a crafty holiday project (holi-DIY!), here are 16 DIY laptop sleeve tutorials that are sure to fit the bill.
Floral Zip
Love the contrasting patterns in this one, and the extra long zipper gives it instant street cred. (via The Late Afternoon)
Chevron Envelope
Remember when ribbon belts were the jam? So preppy, colorful, and easy to make! Take those ribbon belting skills to the next level with this clutch case. (via I Spy DIY)
Quilted Geometry
Triangles! This one definitely involves more work as you have to get a little quilting on, but we love the color block look. (via Shelterness)
Gorgeous textiles! (via Festive Plaid
Another zipper! A good look and definitely more gender neutral than our floral zip :) (via Design*Sponge)
No-Sew “Stitched” Pleather
No-Sew is the crafting version of No-Bake. We’re in. (via A Cup of Sparkle)
Love love love this woodgrain fabric! (via Fabric Scraps
If you’ve got a little bit of this and a little bit of that, sew it all together and put a button on it. (via Ars Technica)

Leather Strap
On the more masculine end of the spectrum, all you need for this one is a yard or so of leather (or pleather) and a leather cord. (via Chaneciaga)
Vintage Towel
What a gorgeous way to use vintage textiles, towels, tea towels, and the like. Plus, most towels don’t need any extra padding. (via Vintage Chica)

For a little extra padding and protection, quilt it up. (via Introvert’s Introduction)
Pin-Up Girl + Belt Buckle
Such an awesome way to use an old belt!! We are definitely borrowing this idea in the near future. (via Kirsten Jane)
