Recently I let you all know that I took the plunge and purchased my very first laptop - my very first mac! Well I am in love with my mac - it's easy to use, functional, light weight and so beautiful I can barely contain myself every time I look at it.

I realized that though I love my Mac, I do not love my Mac case - it's sad and unjazzy, it simply doesn't measure up to the greatness of the Mac - and that just will not do! 
So, I decided that instead of buying a new laptop case I would revamp this one, make it more spunky using some Fabric glue and some Studs. That's right, this case is going to be "rocker" themed. That's how bad-ass my laptop is.

So first off you need a laptop case, which I do - I purchased a little cheap one from Best Buy for $20 when I bought my laptop.


Here it is:





Then you need fabric glue and studs:


I purchased this glue at Michaels Crafts, it was about $8. I've also seen this at Wal-Mart. I also found the studs at Michaels Crafts. They are pricy though, about $4 per little package (not cool)




Here is the finished result:




I am totally thrilled with the finished look, it's amazing what one little row of studs can do for a plain little bag!

Hope you like this DIY!
