[iPad Mini] My iPad Mini "Ugly Sweater"

MikeTHIS · Dec 21, 2012, 10:27 AM

So a few weeks ago I saw Mark Roper's video on one of the tech sites about his iPad Christmas Sweater. In a "OMG! Sweet" moment, I decided I'd recreate his idea and see what I could come up with.

I love to tinker and build stuff, so I figured why not!

Here is Mark's original video:

And here is my YouTube reply!

I added a few extra things and even added some LED's for a bit extra!

I know this thread is a bit off topic, but this has been getting some good discussion in a few places! Mark has also been gracious enough to share my recreation all over!

I admit, this is a silly thing - but it's the small things in life that are the best distraction!

Happy Holidays everyone!
