DIY: IPHONE CASE: Bling


Things Needed: Plain iPhone case of any color choice (got mine from H&M for 5 euros), a Pencil, Scissors (preferably sharper than these), and a large Flexible Diamond Sticker

First off, you want to flip over both the Flexible Diamond Sticker & The iPhone cover, placing the cover on the edge of the Sticker so that it's one side less to cut. 
Secondly, you want to trace the outline of the iPhone cover using the Pencil (this step met be very accurate and precise)!

You then need to cut it out and take off the sticker-protector (is that what it's called? haha i actually don't know).

Last but not least, stick the sticker on the case et voilá, you got yourself a super cute very affordable and easy-to-make blingy iPhone case!
yaaay, I really enjoyed making this. Once again, its quite inexpensive - I mean the case itself cost 5 euro and the flexible diamond sticker cost 7,25 euro so thats a total of 12,25! I still have a lot of the sticker left so I'm thinking of going out to buy some more plain cases at H&M as they are selling them in stores now. I'm gonna experiment with different styles and would love to maybe even sell them in the near future! Going a bit too far with the whole selling thing? haha. 

Anyways, hope you might try this & if you do, tell me how it turned out!

DIY: IPHONE CASE: Leopard Print



Things Needed: Plain iPhone case (bought this in H&M for 5 Euro),Nail-art Brush, Black nail polish, Gold nail polish, and A small piece of a sponge.
First thing you want to do is let the Gold nail polish sink into the surface of the sponge a bit. Then you wanna dab the gold onto wherever you please in circular and half circular shapes on your iPhone case to give a few of the leopard prints a shimmery effect in the middle later on.
Using the Black nail polish & Nail-art Brush, draw around half of the border of the golden dotted shapes you've just created. That will also help you get the feel of the type of pattern the leopard print has. Continue doing so with different sizes until you feel it's completed. 
Et Violá! This is how mine turned out. As you may have noticed, I left the sides untouched Just because I feel it would be a bit too much for my own personal preference.
I'm very happy with this project as it basically only cost me 5 euros since I'd had the nail polish and brush laying around already & the outcome is pretty cute! I have some other DIY iPhone case ideas up my sleeve so stay tuned in for that!

Tell me what you thought of it & if you're going to try it out!
