In the modern world, the smartphone has become an indispensable part of the life of almost every person. Special attention is paid to its design by manufacturers, but after a while everyone wants to slightly change the usual look. A stylish case that can be made and decorated with your own hands will perfectly cope with this task.
Silicone Case
To make a simple silicone case, prepare the following:
- potato starch;
- construction silicone;
- rubber gloves;
- knife;
- putty knife;
- sandpaper.
On the work surface pour starch in small quantities. Squeeze the silicone over it.
We put on gloves and mix everything up to the formation of a thick paste, resembling clay in structure.
Roll out the mass into a thin layer.
Put the phone (or template) in the center. Wrap the mass on the sides so that the cover fits snugly. Leave to dry completely.
Take out the phone or template. In the case we cut out holes for the camera and other connectors. We cut off the excess mass near the display.
We try on the cover on the phone. If done correctly, take the sandpaper and process the cover with it to make it smoother.
We apply an additional layer of silicone to the surface, due to which the cover will acquire a characteristic luster.
Leave to dry completely, after which they can be used.
Stylish decor cover for your smartphone
Of course, on sale there are a variety of phone cases. But if you did not find the right one, be sure to try to decorate a simple transparent case.
For this you will need:
- printer or printed image;
- clear case;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- knife.
Measure the size of the cover.
We print out the templates of the selected images.
Carefully cut out the pattern of the pattern so that it lies flat in the case.
Insert the template into the case and adjust if necessary.
To make the image a little old you can crumple the pattern and straighten it.

Before starting to work, consider the design of the cover. To do this, lay out the elements on the surface and try different combinations.
Getting to the decoration. We put a little glue on the largest dried flowers and attach it to the cover. Repeat the same with the rest of the details, and also complement the decor with sparkles.
Leave the composition to dry. At this time we prepare the resin, according to the instructions on the package. To do this, mix it with water in the same proportion. Pour the solution on the center of the cover and distribute it over the entire surface.
Leave the case to dry. If in the process the solution flows along the edges, remove it with acetone and a cotton swab.
After drying, you get a wonderful cover that will delight you and others.
Gradient design
To give a simple silicone case a gradient design, you just need colored paint and a brush.
It is best to start with the brightest shade. After it dries, apply another color starting from the middle. Leave to dry completely and add a third color along the bottom edge.
