DIY Bedazzled Phone Case by N.H. Have you ever seen amazingly bedazzled, beaded, shiny and gorgeous phone covers that were somewhere around… super overpriced? Ever thought, I can make that! Well, guess what? You definitely can. I got all of my materials on the cheap. Some of them were simply from cheap bracelets I had laying around. What you’ll need: E600 Glue A well ventilated area (important) A hard plastic phone case (important that it isn’t flexible soft kind) Various beads, sequins, etc with preferably flat backs A pointy stick like an old pen tip or pen cap (like I used) A surface that can get messed up Tweezers (I found that it was easier to just grab and drop by hand and then use the tweezers to push the bead around) A lot of freakin’ time How to: 1. Prep your phone case by making sure there is no dust on it. Sort your beads/doodads by color (tedious but it helps I promise!) 2. Working from around the edges inward, put down about an inch or 1/2 inch max of a good thick amount of glue and put down your bead and adjust with your tweezers. 3. Make sure to use up various colors and that your beads are smashed down well. 4. Allow to dry for a good few hours. 5. Put that baby on your phone and be fabulous.

Have you ever seen amazingly bedazzled, beaded, shiny and gorgeous phone covers that were somewhere around… super overpriced?

Ever thought, I can make that! Well, guess what? You definitely can.

A surface that can get messed up

Tweezers (I found that it was easier to just grab and drop by hand and then use the tweezers to push the bead around)

A lot of freakin’ time

How to:

1. Prep your phone case by making sure there is no dust on it. Sort your beads/doodads by color (tedious but it helps I promise!)

2. Working from around the edges inward, put down about an inch or 1/2 inch max of a good thick amount of glue and put down your bead and adjust with your tweezers.

3. Make sure to use up various colors and that your beads are smashed down well.
