Iphone case make over!

Last night I was bored and I needed something to do.  We had hung some pictures, but ran out of frames and hooks.  We also tried to do a project that we had started on the weekend, but I hadn't bought the right things to start it, so we were out of luck there.

I was sitting on the couch and was peeling the edges off my iPhone case that had started to come loose.  I had had the idea to cover it with comic pages awhile ago, and we had some left over from our picture craft, so I thought that it may be a good project to do in an evening.



I set about finding the right panels that I would want on my case.  This is easier said then done.  I needed to find pictures that I liked, but also that would fit!  After figuring out what I wanted and where I wanted them to go, I went to work mod podging them on.  I cut the panels as I went along so that they fit where I wanted and with what picture I wanted visible.  After all the panels were on and the whole case was covered, I cut out the hole in the case for the camera and smoothed the rough edges back onto the inside of the case.  This was actually quite easy as the comic paper was very thin.  I then coated both sides with two layers of Mod Podge.

It was at this point that I decided I wanted a smoother glossy finish for my case, so I used the Mod Podge Gloss sealer and coated both sides of the case as well.

All in all I am extremely happy with the results.  I love my case and so does my hubby, who wants me to make him one too!
