Upcycle memo/diary covers (6 covers)

I like to write in a little book my thoughts, plans and dreams that I have. These thoughts might not always be mine...I also write little things that my children say that I think is very cute. 

In a way, it is a secret diary but since no once really knows what the covered little book is, by secrets are always save. Then again, in my family, there are no real secrets. I tell my children everything and I think that is way we have such an unique relationship. I would like to think that I do treat them as if they are adults, but I also tend to be a real mom and can nag them too if some things aren't done.  I listen to by teenagers' (16) music....it's not that bad really (or maybe his taste is very mature!).  I also play my little one's game of Clash of Clans. I am not really sure about this game - but it brings me closer to my 12 year old and it means a lot to him.

I have a number of men's ties and I have been struggling to find something to make them with.

So I have up cycled them once again into these iPad/tablet covers.

I made these iPad covers from felt. 

No reason for the design as I was just experimenting with designs and how it will come out.
