DIY Laptop Skin for $1

Want a cheap way to cover a laptop and give it that fashionable edge? The Dollar Tree is a great place to get this look!

Materials:
1 roll of contact paper-$1 at Dollar Tree
1craft knife
1 ruler
Scissors

Time:
30-45min

Remember using contact paper to line cabinets? ( yeah it's a vintage concept, but thanks to fineandfeathered.com, a whole new world of possibilities is born!)

With a simple unfurling of the contact paper, and tracing of the laptop screen side down as well as the keyboard surface, and meticulous cutting with a craft knife or straight-edge, I separated the paper from its sheave, and carefully laid it out, flattening each section firmly until it is to my liking!

It may take a steady hand and some patience, but the result is well worth the effort!
