I love the 80s, do you love them too? Crafting With Cat Hair is a huge 80s fangirl, and has several 80s-themed craft tutorials, including this cute felt iPod cozy that looks like a cassette tape. For less than a dollar, you can make this cute iPod case, and it will take you less than an hour. I have some dollar store non-slip shelf-liner on hand, so I am going to line my cozy with the shelf liner to make sure my iPod doesn’t slip out of the case. [how to make a cassette tape iPod case]

OMG!!! This is great! This afternoon my older sister, 40, had me download music for her from iTunes. Then she wanted them burn to a CD. As I’m burning the CD’s she says excitedly “I can’t wait for my mix tape!”. I start laughing…hard. I proceed to tell her this is not a tape it’s a CD. Then she starts laughing.
I love this and wish I had the tutorial when I tried to make an ipod holder shaped like a sony walkman. Sadly, the stitching is not my finest. But I did find that sewing velcro inside helped prevent the ipod from falling out.
