DIY 6: Decorate Your Own Laptop

DIY (Do.It.Yourself) projects will be posted regularly in the home page.

* Always ask a grown-up before doing any of the DIY projects.

You need:

- Sticky gems in different shapes and colors.

- Cardstock in unique design/color

- Ruler

- Pen

- Hole puncher

- Double-sided tape

- Whiteboard marker

- Scissors

- Laptop

- Damp cloth &/or Screen Clene (or another screen-wiping product)

Method:

Clean your laptop thoroughly using the Screen Clene and damp cloth. Push the screen down to reveal your 'canvas'. Draw a cute shape on your cardstock with the marker, then cut it out. Wipe off the marker then cut a small piece of the tape. Stick it to the back of the shape, then stick that where you desire. I placed mine in the center. Use the gems to outline the shape, then decorate the corners with them. Do something like add you initials or a <3. Measure your spacebar/enter buttons and cut a piece of cardstock in these sizes. Tape them on. Measure the size of your mouse-pad then cut the cardstock in those dimensions. Poke a hole in the upper-left corner, then tape it in the empty space next to the mouse-pad. Now you have a mini dry-erase board for reminders. Draw on it using the marker. Voila!! You're done.
