How To Make An Ikat-Inspired iPad Case





What You Need




-Canvas iPad or computer case (ours is from Baggu)
-Colored permanent markers
-Eye dropper
-Rubbing alcohol



Draw Vertical Lines

Step 1: Using the blue marker, draw vertical lines next to each other, forming the shape of a zig-zag.




Continue Drawing With Additional Colors

Step 2: Switch to the orange, adding to the zig-zag shape, and then to the pink.

Drop Rubbing Alcohol On Design

Step 3:After completing the first section, use the eye dropper to cover the area with rubbing alcohol. This will make the ink bleed.


Continue Drawing And Bleeding Design

Step 4:Continue the three color zig-zag pattern, adding more rubbing alcohol as you move along.



Start New Row

Step 5:On the next row, change the direction of the pattern, but keep each coloured section lined up vertically so that they look like stitching.



Add Accent Lines


Step 6:In the empty spaces, add accent lines to complete the design and add cover them with rubbing alcohol.

Touch Up Design
Once the ink dries, touch up any areas that have bled too much with more marker lines
