Can't find a phone case you like? Make your own!
This is a simple way to transform a plain phone case into something beautiful.
I have a package of rub on image transfers called, Parisian Butterflies, from Re*design With Prima. The package contains one sheet with butterflies, one sheet with birds & twigs, & two sheets with writing.
I picked out a section of writing and cut it to fit on the case.
I removed the white backing, placed the design on the phone case, & rubbed over the plastic sheet with the stick that comes in the package.
Then I peeled up the plastic top sheet. I went very slow to make sure all the design had stuck to the case. If it started to peel up, I laid the sheet back down and rubbed until the design adhered.
I cut out a pretty bird from the sheet that had birds & twigs and added it to the case.
I sealed the case with 2 coats of Mod Podge and then a coat of Dixie Belle's Gator Hide.
Here are a few coasters I made using the same technique with transfers from the same package.
The coasters are stone and I gave them a coat of Slick Stick and a coat of white paint, both from Dixie Belle, before adding the transfers.
There are plenty more birds, butterflies, & writing left in the package. I just have to decide what I want to transform next!
