Okay, so we fully anticipate that creating the downright adorable object you see above will take far longer than ten minutes if you a) don't have a stash of circuits and fabrics laying around and / or b) you've never done anything like this before, but for seasoned DIYers, this is about as easy as it gets. The "10-minute sewable iPod remote" can actually be any character or design you feel like making, as the crux of this project relies on the circuit chip that is actually fitted
inside the dock connector. From there, you just connect a few strands of conductive fabric, attach your kitty cat (or dragon, as the case may be) and begin to enjoy your homegrown
iPod remote. Hit the read link for the full how-to, but only if you're immune to cuteoverloaditus.

I made a more advanced version - using a real cat that I trained to operate my iPod upon my voice commands and then tethering it to the iPod.
but that means you have to put your cat in your pocket if you want to go anywhere with your phone. Me Ow!!!!

Hmm, the layout should be like this, when you pinch its nose, it will pause and play, the ears for volume up and down, the hands for forward and back! Shake to shuffle?

Sweet, I'll attach this to my motorcycle jacket so I can control my music while I ride.
