A padded hand-held game carrying case and game organizer (holds upto 8 games) with bonus charger case = an 8-year-old boy's favorite, worn out PJs + recycled bubble wrap + old 35mm slide organizer + jumbo elastic band off gift box + black RIT dye.

Surprise Feature: If accidentally sat on, the popping bubble wrap will alert you to quickly stand up! ; )

Step 1:

Step 1: Get PJs wet and quickly dunk PJs into dye bath (used a bucket) to mute the bright colors.
Step 2: Squeeze excess dye water from PJs. Rinse and tumble dry.
Step 3: Press shirt flat and cut (2) 10" x 14" pieces from front and back of shirt. Place right sides together and stitch three sides. Turn right side out and press flat.
Step 4: Slide 9 1/2" x 13" bubble wrap inside fabric and sew opening closed.
Step 5: Cut (2) 10" x 7" pieces from pant leg and repeat Step 3. Sew opening closed.
Step 6: Sew "slide" pockets to bottom portion of case. Sew leg section to top of case. Sew along two outside edges to create an "envelope".
Step 7: Cut 4" section off one sleeve (keep cuff). Turn inside out and stitch cut edge. Turn right side out and insert charger.
Step 8: Sew elastic band to outside edge of flap only. Insert hand-held game and charger pouch. Loop elastic band behind closed case and knot at side for snug closure/carrying handle.
