DIY JEWELED PHONE CASE

DIY ALL THE TIME
JEWELED PHONE CASE

I dont know about you, but it seems like iPhone users have the best variety when it comes to phone cases. I've always had trouble finding a phone case as nice as those of an iPhone. Nothing against iPhone users id get one, i just haven't chosen an iPhone as a phone yet. Maybe for my next upgrade as of now i'll stick to my Droid. Anyways my point is iPhone users have a bigger variety when it comes to phone cases compared to those of us who have different style phones. Or maybe you are an iPhone user but just haven't found an iPhone that fits your style or personality. I've come up with a simple and inexpensive way to create your own jeweled phone case. Or follow what i did. Whatever floats your boat!

   Now just glue on all of your jewels, pearl, rhinestones ect... What i went ahead and did first was rearrange 
   the jewels on the phone case to get an idea of what i wanted it to look like. Then, put a thin layer of the  
   E6000 glue enough to cover the jewel, but not too much that the glue comes out this side when pasting it 
   to the phone case.



 AND VUALAAAAA!

DIY M&Ms

DIY ALL THE TIME 

M&Ms PHONE CASE

Sticking to the DIY phone case theme. Comes my favorite phone case that i made, my M&Ms phone case which i love because M&Ms are my absolute favorite candies. When i thought of the idea of a candy themed phone case i made it my goal to come up with an easy and inexpensive way to create one. This is what i have come up with. I hope you like!

First you will need:



~Scissors
~Paintbrush
~Phone case (any color)
~Mod Podge- Matte,water-base sealer.
~King Size M&Ms (your favorite candy wrapper)








Paintbrush- $3.50 Michaels
Phone case- $1.99 Amazon
Mod Podge- $9.00 Ebay
King Size M&Ms- $2.00 Liquor store 



STEP 1: Cut off the back of the candy wrapper. CAREFUL not to cut through the front of the wrapper.








STEP 2: Tear off edges of the wrapper. Tear slowly. Again, CAREFUL not to cut the front of wrapper.










STEP 3: Paint a thin yet generous amount of the Mod Podge. Only covering the flat surface of the phone case with the Mod Podge.
(You will paint the edges in a later step)







STEP 4: Cover the flat part of the phone case with the candy wrapper. Smooth down the candy wrapper with your fingers. 
*In doing so you are getting rid of the wrinkles and air bubbles.







STEP 5:  Cut the corners of the wrapper. DO NOT cut off corners. All you are doing is cutting a straight line from the point of the corner until the scissors hit phone case and can no longer to cut further.
 *This will make gluing the corners much easier and keep the corners of the case clean and flat. 





STEP 6: Let dry for 15 min. Once the wrapper has set in with the glue.

STEP 7:Begin cutting off the excess wrapper hanging off the side of the phone case.




STEP 8: Lastly, seal the candy wrapper with Mod Podge. Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge and let dry for 15 min. Repeat with a second coat.









                       DONE!
