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.
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.
And better yet, there’s and eight year old boy next door who’s tickled pink to match his dad
That is so sweet could you do that in pink with frills and stuff maybe some rhinestones?
My 3 1/2 year old has an arm cast for the summer and I’m looking for camo, stars & stripes, etc to add variety to his life and wardrobe. Its difficult to find this type thing on the internet, but I should just have a friend with a sewing machine make something like you did. You really should refine it and start a business!
