Hi guys! It's me Ann! So in today's video, I will be showing you guys how to make customizable
cell phone cases. Now a lot of you guys have been asking for this, and this is a highly
requested video. If you guys followed me a while ago on Instagram, I posted a photo of
cell phone cases I purchased from Ebay. I asked for some of your suggestions and design
ideas, what kind of designs you would like to see. Many of you guys had some great suggestions,
so I gathered some stuff together - that's why it took me a while. But, I came up with
some great ideas that I think will be super easy for you guys to do, and also fun to customize
on different kinds of cell phone cases. This doesn't have to be on just the case I have, you can
pretty much do this on any single other cell phone case that is out there. I purchased mine from
Ebay, and it cost me around $0.99 to $1.99 for these cases. I'll put all the links on
the bottom of this video if you are curious where I purchased these and where you can
purchase them. So before we get started, what I would suggest for you to do is look for
some solid basic phone cases that matches your cell phone style. And then a clear case
as well. So I have solid white, I have some clear ones, I have some color clear ones.
These should be fine. So once you have your case, we can get started. some
Next, I have craft supplies that you can also find on Ebay. I have some scrapbook making paper, I have
some stickers, I have some rhinestones, I have some paper flowers, and I have some little
jewelry pendants. So, if you are wondering where I purchased this from, I try to find
links that are similar to these items below this video. For glue, I will be using
E6000 and Mod Podge. Lastly, you will need a clear gloss spray, or a paint gloss will do.
So let's start off with the first design, and I am going to make a flower bed for my
phone case. Okay, so the first thing you will want to do is clean the cell phone case with
some rubbing alcohol to make sure you get all that grease and other things off the phone
case. Next, with the glue I am either going to put that on the side and dab the flowers
onto it, or just go ahead and apply it straight onto the cover. Then I will simply place the
flowers onto where the glue part is, and that is basically it. It's really simple and straightforward.
I love this design, it is so cute, and girly, and it's perfect for summertime. Okay, so
this design is dedicated to those of you who like that 3D glitter, glam type of design.
So here I have a necklace pendant that I'm going to glue on the center of my case. Next,
I'm going to take some rhinestones from my old, previous projects and I'm going to place
that around, however way I like it. You know, just play around with the design, before I
really want to stick them on permanently. Then I'm going to take my E6000 glue and then dab
the rhinestone into the glue, then place it back onto the phone case. And that is basically it!
Just decorate this however way you like. I recommend you use different size embellishment
to give it more dimension and add more design to this. Okay! So let's jump into these next
two designs right here. So all you would need for this is a picture. You can print out a
picture, you can take a photo, or you can cut out a picture from a magazine. And here
I'm just cutting it with a pair of scissors. And then I'm going to cut out the details with
an exact-o knife. Then I'm going to clean my case with some rubbing alcohol. And then
I'm going to place the back of my picture with some Mod Podge and then I'm going to
apply that to the center of my case. After that, I'm going to cover up with the gloss
paint so that way it will protect the picture and also give a nice glossy finish. Once you're
done applying out the paint, let it set for a day or so before the paint completely heals.
This next design is very simple. Instead of using a picture, I'm using craft stickers from the
scrapbook making section, and placing it onto the phone. You basically do the same thing,
you clean the back of the phone. After that, just spray on the clear adhesive coat to protect
the stickers, and that is basically it! It's very simple, but it's so fun yet you can customize it
according to how you like it. This next design will make a great gift. It's inexpensive,
plus it's really fun to customize. Okay, so to start this, I'm going to use a picture that was
given to me inside the phone case. I'm going to take that and just trace around it. You
can use your phone cover to trace around this as well, but what you will have to do is cut
it smaller because the phone case is wider on the outside. Next, I'm just going to use
the phone case to trace where the camera part is, and then I'm going to cut that out with
the scissors. For the camera part, I'm going to cut that out with an exact-o knife. So
that's pretty much it! You can pretty much make as many as you'd like for the person
you're giving this to, or for yourself! And that is basically it. Thank you guys so much
