Find and apply to the case stickers that represent your personality and interests. For example, since you're most likely going to be listening to a lot of music on the iPod Nano, a sticker of your favorite band's logo would be appropriate. Optionally, purchase letter stickers and spell out your name on the case with them. Larger stickers you should put on the back of the case so they don't interfere with the iPod's screen or controls.

Use puffy paint to write your name or words or phrases that define you or to draw designs on the iPod Nano case. Let the puffy paint dry completely before doing more work on the case; drying usually takes a day or two (see Reference 1).

Tips & Warnings
Plan the entire design before applying anything to the iPod case. Once you've attached a decoration to the case with some kind of adhesive, it can be hard to remove.
Do not cover the area where the iPod Nano screen will be with any design that will block the screen.
Don't put too much glitter on the case. Glitter can easily rub off on anything the case touches.
