1. Lay the old hooded sweatshirt face up.

Place it as if a person were facing you by making it flat with the hood and arms outstretched.

2. Place the laptop horizontally on the chest of the sweatshirt. It should be just below the neckline.

3. Fold the bottom half of the sweatshirt over the laptop and tuck any remaining material inside. Tuck the bottom half underneath the sides of the laptop.

The bottom of the sweatshirt should wrap snugly around the laptop.

4. Fold the hood over the top of the covered laptop.

This may be a bit tricky, especially if you have a larger computer. It helps to fold the hood over first, flipping the loose hood onto the laptop, then slip the laptop in one corner at a time.

5.

OPTIONAL: If the hoodie has strings, flip the laptop back over so the hood is touching the table, and tie the strings to secure it.

6.

Finally, knot the sleeves into either into a strap for a makeshift bag, or a simple knot to keep things in place.

Be sure to secure your laptop by tying a knot as tightly as possible.

Hoodies aren’t just for wearing; transform them into a quick laptop case. Origami your sweatshirt into a functional, safe space for your laptop.

Whether you’re slinging the bag over your shoulder or carrying it safely in your hands, be rest assured that your laptop is protected and covered with this easy-to-make case.

Some students argue the functionality of the sleeve.

Others debate the amount of protection the sleeve provides.

While not providing optimum protection, the hoodie laptop sleeve is a fun and easy way to reuse an everyday piece of clothing.
