Just when I was thinking about throwing away my old phone case ,that is when an idea sparked...
WHY NOT RECYCLE IT??? Could save me a few bucks, give a personal touch and get myself a bit of advertisement ;-) as well.
Materials required-
- Old phone case
- Acrylic paint- Gold (for base), metallic blue, metallic red, brown, white, metallic green
- Mod Podge- Acts as sealant
- Brushes - For painting
- Super glue
- Rhinestones - White, Red
- Hairdryer- To speed up process...
- CD marker
Method-
- Clean the surface of the phone case with a clean, dry cloth.
- Using a flat brush apply 3-4 coats of gold acrylic paint.
- Few points have to be kept in mind while applying paint. Make sure the you apply generous amount of paint from top to bottom evenly. Make sure the brush doesn't stop halfway through while painting or it may leave unwanted brush marks.
- Make sure that each layer dries before next layer of paint is applied. Can use a hair dryer for faster drying. Apply each layer horizontally and vertically alternatively.
- It should be something like this....
- Draw outline of the peacock design and then fill it with colour.
- Start giving details with colours and finally outline.
- Seal the paint with Mod Podge, so that it can resist wear and tear.
- Stick white rhinestones on the feathers. Fill the background with leaves and stick red rhinestones like fruits.
- Final result..
Hope you enjoyed..
