How to decorate your phone to be different

You can update the shabby case of a smartphone and get a couple of exclusive covers without tangible financial costs. Having shown ingenuity and imagination, with your own hands it is quite possible to make your favorite gadget different from all the others and stand out from the crowd.

Acrylic paint

Using acrylic paint, it's easy to make one of the simplest options for a decorated smartphone case. To do this, you will need:

• transparent silicone clip case (phone case);
• acrylic paints of two colors (you can combine any shades to your taste or match them to the color of your favorite handbag or shoes);
• flat brushes;
• masking tape;
• cotton swabs to remove excess paint.

To decorate a phone case with paints, you must:

1. Before starting work, divide the clip-case into 2 unequal zones using adhesive tape glued on the inside.
2. Cover the separated parts alternately with different colors of paint and immediately wipe off the excess from the edges of the accessory with a cotton swab.
3. After the first coat of paint has dried, you will need to apply 1 or 2 more coats of each color, depending on the desired result.
4. The strip of tape can be removed when all layers are completely dry.
5. As a result, you will get a stylish case with a laconic and original design.

If you have more artistic skills, you can use acrylics to turn a simple phone case into a work of art if you paint on it in a spectacular way. You can design the ornament yourself or print your favorite sketch from the Internet. When choosing a template, you should take into account the location of the device camera so that the picture does not overlap it.

To paint your phone case you will need:

• transparent case for a smartphone;
• acrylic paints;
• glass marker;
• thin round brush.

To decorate the cover, you must:

1. Transfer the selected sketch of the drawing to the inner surface of the cover using a glass marker. This will greatly facilitate the subsequent work with paints and help to avoid unnecessary blunders.
2. Apply paint along the finished contour with precise and accurate movements.

It is quite painstaking work, but the end result is worth it.

Gems

An old pendant, a scattered necklace and fragments of other jewelry that have been gathering dust in the box for a long time are also perfect for decorating the case.

To transform your case, you only need strong transparent glue and a little imagination. You can lay out a small pattern of stones and pearl beads or paste over the entire surface of the case with them. The choice depends on personal taste and the amount of material.

In any case, a scattering of iridescent gems will give your smartphone a luxurious and expensive look.

Nail polish

Every girl has a colored nail polish. And when there are a lot of these colorful bubbles, it is worth using them to decorate your clip case or the phone itself. To do this, you need:

1. In a wide bowl of water, mix a few drops of nail polish of different colors to create an interesting pattern.
2. Gently lower the cover or the back panel of the phone into the colored film formed on the surface of the water, then remove and leave until the coating is completely dry.
3. The original abstract pattern can be coated with acrylic varnish so that the decor will delight you as long as possible.

Color film

This method of decorating your smartphone is very simple and requires no special skills, but it cannot be called ordinary or boring.

A wide selection of colored self-adhesive films is available in almost any stationery store. You can decorate your smartphone with both a ready-made image and a self-made pattern by sticking a film of different colors in any order and direction.

Rhinestones

Accessories for every taste can be found in specialized sewing stores. It is advisable to choose rhinestones of different sizes and colors in order to create a more complex and original pattern on the clip case or the back of the phone.

To transform your phone you will need

• strong colorless glue (if the rhinestones are without a sticky layer);
• rhinestones;
• interesting design idea.

You can decorate your smartphone by laying out a certain figure, or paste over the entire surface with rhinestones. The process of fixing the jewelry is quite simple - it is only important to apply a moderate amount of glue and first degrease the surface.

Beads

To cover the entire area of ​​a case or phone case, you will need a large number of multi-colored beads, as well as patience and perseverance.

It is recommended to glue the beads using a special hot silicone gun or transparent mounting glue. You can apply a thin, even layer of adhesive directly to the case and quickly lay out the beads. It is important to take into account that this method does not guarantee high-quality adhesion.

A more reliable method would be to apply glue to each individual bead. It is convenient to use tweezers and a toothpick for this. However, this process will take a lot of time, but the decor will not constantly crumble.

Knitted cover

Knitting is a laborious process that requires certain skills. For this reason, this method of decorating a smartphone is suitable only for those who have at least minimal experience with knitting needles and reading diagrams.

Despite the complexity of this decor method, the ability to tie a phone case allows imagination and creativity to unfold to the fullest. You can use an interesting ornament, various applications and embroidery.

The shape of the case does not have to keep the classic shape either. Cases in the form of cute animals and cartoon characters are especially popular. A simple knitted cover will look stylish too, but it will suit any dress code.

To make a knitted case for your smartphone, you need:

1. First, choose the type of yarn and knitting needles of a suitable diameter.
2. Next, measure the length and width of the smartphone.
3. Tie a small piece of about 7 cm to help you count the number of stitches per cm.
4. Then dial the required number of loops and start knitting an even fabric. A scarf and hosiery are perfect for protecting the phone, but spectacular openwork patterns cannot cope with the device's protection function.

All the described ways of decorating a smartphone can be easily combined to create your own unique design. It is important to decorate your phone very carefully so as not to spoil its appearance, but the main thing is to get the most out of the creative process.
