Down memory lane: hand-made DS Lite case

We never fail to be amazed at just what fans can produce when it comes to their consoles of choice. Be it a good homebrew application or game, to Mario or console-themed wedding cakes, these guys are just oozing of love for their games, and we can’t help but get caught up in the giddiness.

So, in the spirit of Christmas, as well as a way to show just how much she loves her Pink DS Lite which she got for Christmas, sakuramaki created this case to keep her brand-new handheld safe and sound. And for those who are feeling a bit inspired and now want to make their own, here’s how she did it:

it was created using pieces of plastic canvas cut to shape, onto which i cross stitched a pattern resembling an NES controller, which were then stitched together – the inside is linked with a very appropriate pink polka dot felt, and the case is sealed with strips of velcro.

Now excuse us while we start taking cross-stitch lessons.
