DIY: Glitter your phone case!

Vendors at the mall, electronic stores, accessory sections, etc. etc. Many carry phone cases, but a) they’re pretty much all for iPhones (which really sucks if you have a different kind), and b) you could make an even more awesome one yourself!

Since I have a more unique and not as standard model of smartphone, the only cases I could find were plain solid coloured plastic. For a while my phone was protected and decorated with translucent blue. My heart died a bit whenever I saw it and realized how unlike me that case was. So of course I had to add some “me” to it.

Glitter is a way of life. I’m definitely not a “girly-girl”, but still. When I scrapbook or make cards or do practically anything I am obsessed with glitter incorporation. Once I decorated my math homework with glitter. Yeah I’m strange. Anyways… I thought I’d share with you how I made my phone AWESOME!

Supplies:

  • Basic phone case
  • Mod Podge (craft stores, probably even the dollar store would have it)IMAG0291
  • Fine glitter (again, craft or dollar stores)
  • Brush to apply it with
  1. Remove case from phone
  2. Mix some of the glitter and Mod Podge in a small container (the more glitter, the more glittery the case will be…)
  3. With the paint brush, apply your mixture in thin coats. NOTE: it will appear white and ugly at first, but it dries clear, so don’t worry, be happy.
  4. Let individual coats dry.IMAG0292
  5. Then apply more coats.
  6. Finish with a layer of just Mod Podge
  7. Let dry COMPLETELY
  8. Put the case on your phone
  9. Enjoy, and feel free to brag about your one-of-a-kind DIY phone case!IMAG0293

  1. I recommend trying acrylic paint as well! I’ve painted several phone cases with acrylics and finished them off with varnish. They worked wonderfully 🙂
