Decorative covers for casts

I thought I would post this. When I saw it, I thought of Shyangel's little girl.

Decorative covers for casts



I’m not normally a person to make decorative covers for things, but when a sad 8 year old boy asks - why not :-)

My neighbor’s young son just broke his arm a few days ago and really wanted to get a camouflage cast (to match his dad’s uniform, of course) Unfortunately, the hospital wasn’t able to make one and so he was feeling pretty blue.



I happened to have some camo material and made a cast cover.

You may not want camo material, but use anything you have around the house, or something the child has outgrown to make a neat cover. Also it keeps the cast from getting dirty.

It’s really simple to make, just measure how long the cast is, and around the top & bottom of the cast. I sewed a tube with channels on both ends. I ran some elastic through, cut it to fit - and presto! You’ve got yourself a cover for a cast.

What a great idea. And you can still get people to sign it. Don't they have colored casts also. ?

That is a really neat idea...they do have colors but it is pretty much the primary solid colors and I think a hot pink and neon green has been seen.

That's cool Spydie thank you.
I think I have something I can find around the house that I can do that with. She will love it!

She could pull it down and keep her fingers warm too. ;D

That's a really cool idea. Casts get so nasty looking after awhile, what with all the playing kids do. This would keep it cleaner and be washable too.
