It's a strong and protective case that will keep your Gameboy or DS snug inside. Choose any color you like and get sticking! Edit StepsWrapping the Gameboy or DS1Get your Gameboy or DS.2Beginning just below the cartridge slot, start wrapping the Gameboy or DS with duct tape, one wrap at a time, sticky side facing out.
Avoid wrapping too tightly. You want to still be able to slip the Gameboy or DS in and out of the case when needed.3Continue wrapping. Let each new strip to overlap the previous one slightly.
Creating the Case1Make the base. Once you have reached the bottom, put a strip of duct tape over the bottom, sticky side facing out.
2Cover the corners for a smooth finish.
3Strengthen the structure. Start applying duct tape, sticky side facing down, in vertical strips on the Gameboy or DS.
4Once you have done that, do it again cleanly with horizontal strips. This will give the case that leathery feel.
You can cut slits into the front for the screen, buttons, power, and volume.Adding Finishing Touches1Make the strap. Cut about a foot/30cm of duct tape. Fold it in half lengthwise. Fold it in half crosswise. Add an extra inch/2.5cm of tape at the end to be able to attach the strap.
2Attach the strap to the case. It's now complete!
Edit TipsOriginal metallic duct tape gives a shiny look.Stores like Rite Aid Aid, Micheal's, and Staples carry colored duct tape. You can use this if you don't like the idea of 'plain old grey'.Edit WarningsAvoid sticking duct tape to the actual Gameboy or DS. It will stick fast and it will be hard to remove both the tape and its residual stickiness.Edit Things You'll NeedDuct tape (color of choice)Game Boy/Game Boy Color/DS of any typeScissorsEdit Related wikiHowsHow to Make a Duct Tape Scrap Ball/PillowHow to Make Duct Tape FabricHow to Make a Duct Tape VestHow to Make a Duct Tape iPod PouchArticle Info Featured Article
