Repeat on all four corners of your silicone sleeve.įinally, when each corner has a tab-loop-hook-tab applied, flip over your silicone sleeve so that the open side is now facing up.

Apply a tab to the back of the “hook” piece you just placed, then peel off the backing.

Press the “hook” piece face down on the loopy bit so that they fasten together.

Attach the soft “loop” piece to the tab with the loopy side facing up.

Apply a tab to the corners of your silicone sleeve.

For this part, make sure your silicone sleeve is face/open side down. To make sure these cases are interchangeable, I’m using hook and loop fasteners and the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive Tabs. It’ll look like a loop of elastic sticking out of the back of your case. Push the looped end through the hole in the interior side of the back cover piece and out the back. Next, take your elastic piece and tie a knot with the two ends. You want the hole to go all the way through, but try to keep it neat. With an awl or piercing tool, make a hole in the middle of your back cover piece. However, if you want to make sure it will stay closed when not in use, keep reading. If you don’t want any type of closure on your DIY Kindle case, you can skip ahead a little bit. Your decorative papers are acting as binding, so you want them to be adhered well to each other with your pressing. Press gently, but make sure the score is fairly deep.

Only score the spine on the interior of your case. With the inside of your case still facing up, use the bone folder once more to score on either side of the spine. So far, your case should resemble the one above. Use the bone folder to press everything down really well and let dry. Make sure to get the edges well! Flip over and adhere to the interior of your case. Next you’ll take your 6.75″x10.5″ piece of decorative paper and apply MONO Multi XL Liquid Glue to the side that you don’t want to show. Don’t worry if the corners and edges of the paper aren’t perfect, we’re about to make things look awesome. Similar to the previous step, now fold over the top and bottom excess edges of paper, adhere with the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive Runner, and press down with the bone folder. Press down again with the bone folder to make sure things are adhered really well. Adhere these side edges of paper down on the covers with the Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive. Space your chipboard pieces evenly and make sure the straight edges line up.įold over the side edges of the paper, using the bone folder to make sure the folds are nice and crisp. It’s really important to leave about 1/8″ of an inch of paper showing between the edges of the spine and the front and back cover pieces. Position the glued sides of the chipboard down like shown above. Next, flip over your 8.25″x12″ piece of decorative paper so that that pretty side is facing down. To start, coat one side of each of the chipboard pieces with a thin layer of the Tombow MONO Multi XL Glue. You can always make a quick tester case to nail down the correct measurements (which is totally what I did!). Just size up or down the decorative paper accordingly.

For the chipboard sizing, adding a quarter of an inch to the length and width measurements of your reader in its soft sleeve should do the trick. I’m creating a DIY Kindle case for my Paperwhite, but you can size this project up or down for your specific eReader with a bit of experimenting.

Embellishments, die-cuts, markers, stickers, foiling to decorate if desired.

1 strip of chipboard cut to 0.5″x7″ (for spine).

2 pieces chipboard cut to 5″x7″ (for front and back covers).

However, I can DIY a bunch of my own using one silicone sleeve that I can swap between them.
