I love this idea for making cool speakers for your MP3 player. Factory Direct Craft has instructions to make a cute little speaker cover that can coordinate with any room (I especially love this bright room featuring red and primary colors). THe Speaker is right below the wall banner. This is a great project for older tweens or teens. You'll want to get an adult to help you with this project because you'll need power tools.
