Project Overview & Aesthetic Design

A sleek, slim document and laptop sleeve crafted from dense 2mm chipboard, featuring a folding flap with concealed neodymium magnets, wrapped in matte black bookbinding cloth.

Step-by-Step DIY Execution Guide

  • Cut three panels from 2mm greyboard: Front ($10times13$“), Back ($10times13$“), and Flap ($4times13$“).

  • Lay panels on a table with a 3mm gap between them to form flexible folding hinges.

  • Carve shallow 0.5-inch circular recesses into the chipboard edges to countersink four small 1mm neodymium disc magnets.

  • Glue magnets in place with epoxy, matching polarity across the flap and front panel.

  • Wrap the entire exterior in black linen bookcloth, smoothing it over the hidden magnets.

  • Line the interior with soft microsuede or felt.
