DIY: Rhinestone phone case

Phone cases with rhinestones have been so popular lately. Since they're a bit pricier, I decided to make my own, unique case. Most of these cases are gold or silver, but why make what everybody is expecting, when there are colors! Also, I have a thing for airplanes so this was my main design I knew I needed to have.

You'll need:

• blank phone case (white/black/transparent) - I bought mine on eBay
• rhinestones - from my local hobby shop
• glue - I used my nail glue (in post here)

Process:

• draw the motive on a piece of paper
• cut out the drawing
• place the drawing onto a phone case and outline it with a pencil
• glue the rhinestones along the outline
• glue the rest of the rhinestones around your main design

Tips:

• find a good glue - this one is awesome, but I used an old one so it was really hard to work with
• take your time - it took me around two hours to do all of it
• work in small sections - don't apply glue all over cause it will dry and you'll have to reapply it
• stack rhinestones one next to another - don't just place the big ones somewhere and hope you'll work your way with the others cause you probably won't be able to place them all how you imagined
• buy some transparent spray (I don't know if hair spray will do) - to enhance shine and keep everything in place

I know I messed up the left wing, but oh well... :)

Do you like it? Will you try it? Or have you already done something like this?
