Cut the traced outline and place the painted picture in the phone case. Don’t also forget to trace and cut the camera hole on the picture!

It doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day to do something love-inspired. For example, decorating your phone case to show some love is a good way! Make sure you have a phone case, white paint, gold sharpie, heart-shaped cookie cutter, and a pouncer. First, paint the case white and after it’s dried well, trace the case with the cookie cutter. And make a small gap. You can skip this or make an arrow as the picture. When you’re done drawing, spread a coat of gold glitter, let it dry, and you’re done.

Nail polish can make even our phone cases pretty and not just the nails! For this project, you need a beige or champagne-colored phone case, pastel pink, black, and metallic gold nail polish, pointed Q – tips, scissors, disposable trays, and triple thick glaze, but this is optional. Cut the tip off the q – tips for creating a flat surface at the ends, placing a dime-sized nail polish in the disposable tray, dip the q – tip, and making dots on the case. Let it dry and repeat the same with the other colors. In the end, if you want to, you can spray a thin layer of triple thick glaze and let it dry.

This is one of the few phone case decorations that will take you literally just minutes to make it. For this lovely, floral case you need a clear phone case, temporary floral tattoos, and Mod Podge.
