You can make a case for any generation of your iPod or iPod nano with your own zany flare. All you need is:

1. Large sheet(s) of felt in your fave color(s) (about the size of a sheet of paper should do)
2. Little scraps of felt for decoration (optional)
3. Glue (if needed)
4. Needle
5. Thread/embroidery floss (which ever works best for you)
6. A button

Take your iPod and set it on a piece of felt. Mark the edges around your iPod and cut that out. Do the same for the back. You can do the same thing for the sides as you did for the front and back, or you can measure out the width and height of the sides and mark them on the felt and cut them out. You might also want to have the felt cut outs slightly larger than the iPod’s real measurements. Now, you have to sew together the felt using an overcast stitch. Make sure you leave the top part open for the next step. To keep the iPod from slipping out, take another color of felt and cut it to the same size of the iPod. Start sewing part of it to the back of the case so it comes up and over the top of your iPod like a flap. P.S. - don’t let the flap completely cover the front of the case. That’s where you put the fun stuff! Now, flip open the flap and sew the button to the case just so that the flap covers it when pulled over. When you are done, make a hole in the felt of the flap where it covers the button. Careful not to make the hole too big or the button will slip out of it! Now, it’s your time to express your creative ability! Take the felt scraps and cut it into shapes like princess crowns, butterflies, flowers, hearts, or you can even spell your name out. You can glue these to the case or sew them, it’s up to you! Now that case is just as fabulous as you are!

For iPod nano: To listen to your iPod in your case, slip the iPod in, find where the ear phone hole should be, mark it, and poke a hole onto the felt. (You should take the iPod out before you poke the hole, duh!) Hint: it will be easier to put the head phone jack in if you gradually make the hole larger.
