DIY Phone Case

Individualized phone cases are a great way to express your personality and show others what you're into! With the new school year starting, a unique phone case that displays what you love will definitely be a great conversation starter and kick off a fun new year. That being said, have you ever wanted to spice up your phone case but didn't have the time, resources, or funds to do so? If you answered yes, this blog post is perfect for you! Today, I'm going to show you how to make extremely inexpensive phone cases that are interchangeable and mix-and-matchable! Follow these simple steps and in no time at all you will have a fabulous DIY phone case of your very own!

What you will need:
-Clear phone case that corresponds with your phone model/size (I bought a pack of 7 from Amazon for around $10.)
-Scrapbook paper (You can also print out an image of your choice)
-Exacto knife
-Scissors
-Pencil


Step One: On the scrapbook paper, trace the outline of your phone with a pencil. Make sure not to trace the case, as the phone is the exact size that you will need to complete this project.



Step Two: Precisely cut out the shape, paying close attention to corners and curves.


Step Three: Place the paper inside of the clear case, and trace the outline of the camera. This is an extremely important step, as forgetting to do so will lead to a blocked camera lens.




Step Four: Using an exacto knife, cut out the shape of the camera. Place the completed paper into the case facing out and put the phone on top of it. Be careful not to rip the paper.


And Voila! Now you have a fully customizable phone case that you made for practically no money at all! Use photos, stickers, and even printed images to enhance your case even further! Using this method lets you switch out your paper whenever you want, allowing for infinite combinations for your ever changing personality ! I hope you have fun doing this project on your own! Stay crafty!
