MY own California Roll

So I was browsing the web yesterday and I decided I wanted something to put my iphone in. Jacob has a clear case... but I wanted more than just a case! So I found this on griffintechnology.com. It is called the California Roll. It's a case for your ipod/iphone, headphones, and usb cord thingy. This costs 20 bucks on Griffin and I wasn't wanting to spend that much for a case that I can make myself! So Jacob and I went to JoAnn's crafts to buy a few things. We went to my grandma's house where all my cousins were, and I started making my pattern! I gave MY california roll a twist and put an extra pocket (for cash)! There are a total of 4 pockets if you can see. One cash pocket, one credit card pocket, one iphone pocket, and one earphone pocket! Here it is!

materials:

duck cloth (that's the fabric), elastic band, sewing machine, double wide black border,

thin, but strong plastic you can sew (the kind you see in wallets for your driver's license or the kind that is used to cover up the cheap pocket calendars)! haha

The great thing about the clear plastic is that you can still use the touch pad without having to push hard. It's great!

MP3 Stereo Shelf

I wanted to make this really, really bad, but I couldn't do it myself since I don't know how to use the circular saw and I don't know how to measure and angle the crown moulding the right way. I had Jacob help me!

I put regular sized computer speakers (about 5-6 inches in height) on each side of the mp3 shelf thingy. I crazy-glued the speakers down (so they wouldn't move around). I made a hole in the back for the cord (for the outlet). I used black net stuff (for latch and hook or whatever its called)-- use the really thin kind. 

materials:

crown moulding, wood, paint, cheap speakers, latch and hook canvas (to cover speakers), nails, nail gun
