DIY Ukulele Case

Ukuleles are more popular than ever and and their small size makes them easily portable for musical fun on-the-go! Best of all, they are also fairly inexpensive and affordable to most everyone. You can buy a good quality ukulele for less than a hundred dollars and if you shop around and are willing to go through the trouble of replacing cheap strings with better quality ones, you can even find a decent uke for as low as 20 bucks.

Once you decide on which ukulele to buy and start strumming, you're probably going to want to take it everywhere you go because it's just that awesome! Campouts, picnics, parties and even the laundromat or more fun when you have a ukulele with you, but beginners may not want to fork over the extra cash for a case to tote it in. Hard shell ukulele cases can often cost as much as the instrument itself. Yikes!

Cheapskate do-it-yourselfers can rejoice because it's easy to re-use the cardboard box your new ukulele was packaged in when you bought and turn it into a sturdy travel case. The cool part is that you can customize it with different colors and patterns for a one-of-a-kind look that suits your personality.
