When I got my new phone, I really enjoyed the way it looked. I knew I needed a case but I hated most cases they were either too boring or too childish for a woman.
….So what should a woman do???
Well if she is crafty enough she makes her own!!
I enjoy taking an item (anything) and turning it into something beautiful. A ball of yarn into a scarf or sweater, fabric into a dress or purse, food products into a beautiful and healthy meal, and now a plain plastic phone case into a “Blinged” phone case!!
I really enjoyed this process. First I decided on a white color scheme. I had this amazing white pearl butterfly pendant to use as my focal point. Then I had to find the right elements to compliment it, rhinestone, pearls, beads, and of course glue. At first there was a steep learning curve trying to find the best glue. I did finally find some great glue, but I am still making a mess of my hands. (I still need to find a better delivery system) Since each and every element is put on one at a time with tweezers you would think it wouldn’t be so messy but it still is.
I love my phone case!!
I have had my new “blinged” phone case for about 4 or 5 months and it still looks great. And of course it protects my phone. Since then I have done a few more phone cases…
This one is a gift for my future daughter-in-law!
These are great fun to make. So if you have the time(it takes about 3 to 4 hours to make one), and the elements at hand, give it a try. And you can have a beautiful phone case too….
Or I can just make one for you!!!
Hi Rhonda its an excellent post if I had a cell phone I’d try one out for sure.It sounds like a great glue we sure could use it at work we have stuff that comes unglued all the time thats why handmade is so much better than store bought.Happy crafting!
