DIY : MYO : Brush Up on Your Craft Skills

Make Your Own from: Knitting | Felt | Duct tape and other adhesives | Paper

We are collecting patterns, tips and ideas from all over the world. Make your own covers from a range of materials.

You are limited only by your imagination, and perhaps skill... Look at it this way, if once you've made them, they're not something you'd use yourself, pass them off as a "made with love" gift!

Check out these alternatives to commercial mobile phone, MP3, iPod and digital camera pouches.

With the world crazy about iPhones, we couldn't go past this fun iPhone cover! Of course, this one is actually an iPhone replacement, filled with foam, but I can't see why you couldn't just pop your own iPhone into it instead? (Note you may have to make a few adjustments if you want it to be the iPhone 3G).
