Do it Yourself Cell Phone Cases

Do it Yourself Cell Phone Cases

• Thursday 26 September 2013

The Stampin' Up! Concept Artists have come up with a great idea - you can create your own cell phone case!  So instead of paying the high prices for the cell phone cases, create one exactly as you want it.

You can find some inexpensive cases at London Drugs , Walmart or Target for less than $10.00. Check out the 3 different cases.

For the Inspire/Create/Share case, the digital stamp from MDS’s Hooray For Today Stamp Brush Set was updated and printed it on Whisper White Cardstock; for the black and white case, Modern Medley Designer Series Paper was used; and the last case was embellished by combining a favourite picture and MDS’s “Family is everything” digital stamp from the Hooray for Today Stamp Brush Set. It was then printed on Whisper White Cardstock.

Trace around the case with a pencil. (Since the case is see-through, you should be able to see to center it and trace.) If you can’t find a see-through case, just measure your case and draw the lines on the paper with a ruler. Then lay the case down and trace around the corners to get the exact measurement of the corners and the camera lens hole.

After you cut your paper to the exact size of your case, use a paint brush to completely cover the top of the case with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Adhere the paper to the case and let it dry; then, using a paint brush, completely cover the case with Crystal Effects to make it water-resistant and more durable. Let it dry. 

You now have your very own custom case!
