Traveling with a tablet? This felt tablet case is a fun way to store your device safely in your bag. Plus it’s easy to craft, making it a much more affordable option, too.

For a tropical twist, we added some palm leaves to our case using heat transfer vinyl. You can do the same, or leave these details off if you prefer a more simple design. Just check out our supplies list below to get started!

We’ve Got You Covered

Our felt tablet case will keep your device free from smudges and scratches, no matter where you’re taking it. The template includes two sizes — one for an iPad Mini (small) and one for a standard iPad (large). If your tablet is another size (like an iPad Pro), we’ve provided instructions for how to make a custom case that will fit your specific tablet.

Along with customizing the size of your felt tablet case, you can personalize it further by choosing your favorite color of felt. You can also make your palm leaf details stand out, keep them subtle, or leave them off entirely. If you’d like, you can explore our other iron-on projects  to see if there’s a different design you prefer for your felt case.
