A woman’s cell phone case should offer beauty, protection, and a peak into her personal style. Those things are easy to find if you have an iPhone! I have a Droid, and while I love my phone and all of it’s functions, however there are no fabulous cases on the market for it!
So, what’s a girl to do??? Find a basic one and make it fabulous!
You can do anything from gluing rhinestones and broken jewelry with E6000 glue (best for this type of job) to using ModPodge and layering fabric or paper on it to create a backdrop for the rest of your design. And if it is made by you, then it will surely be beautiful and unique!
Tools:
Mod Podge (apply this with a a foam paint brush)
E6000 glue (apply this with a popsicle stick, or a wooden skewer)
craft tweezers ( so that you can easily pick up small objects)
broken jewelry, rhinestones, a pendant, paper, fabric (or anything else under the sun that you want to use)
your creativity!
-
- Apply a layer of Mod Podge to a clean surface and layer the lace fabric and press. You can use an old gift card to help you press it on.
-
- This has dried over night, and I have applied a second layer of ModPodge.
-
- When the Mod Podge has dried, then you can begin decorating your phone.
-
- secret: the lace came from a very pretty bra whose underwire had finally broken. I like to repurpose things!
-
- the finished product!
-
- This cell phone case uses a more simple technique of gluing small objects using the E6000 glue and a tweezer!
-
- For this, I layered various cut up sheets of origami paper with Mod Podge. The rest of the accessories are from old broken jewelry.

So cute! You make this look simple 🙂
You know what? It really was simple! You just need a little bit of patience while you wait for things to dry. This is done in layers.
I had always assumed it was difficult to make your own covers – I always buy ones for my iPhone! I might try making one next time!
You have to buy a plain one to use as a base. I had found one for $4 on amazon. Then what you do with it is up to you.
Girly birthday gift idea. Yaaay. Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea!
