DIY: How to Make an Ikat-Inspired iPad Case

-Canvas iPad or computer case (mine is from Baggu)
-Colored permanent markers
-Eye dropper
-Rubbing alcohol





1. Using the blue marker, draw vertical lines next to each other, forming the shape of a zig-zag.
2. Switch to the orange, adding to the zig-zag shape, and then to the pink.
3. After completing the first section, use the eye dropper to cover the area with rubbing alcohol. This will make the ink bleed.
4. Continue the three color zig-zag pattern, adding more rubbing alcohol as you move along.
5. On the next row, change the direction of the pattern, but keep each colored section lined up vertically so that they look like stitching.
6. In the empty spaces, add accent lines to complete the design and add cover them with rubbing alcohol.
7. Once the ink dries, touch up any areas that have bled too much with more marker lines.
8. Now it's finished!
