DIY interchangeable phonecase.

I thought I would post an idea I spotted on Pinterest. I don't know about you, but I tend to get a bit bored of my phonecase quite often so the idea of having a case which I could change up so easily appealed to me!

All you need is a clear phonecase [99p on ebay!], some pretty scrapbook paper, a pencil and some scissors.

I got my paper from Hobbycraft - florals and glitter, pretty typical of me.
I started by tracing round the phonecase on the paper, then cutting it out. I tested it out in my phonecase - chances are you will need to cut around it a bit more, as I did. I then traced around the camera lens hole and used my craft knife to cut it out. Slot it in the phonecase and snap it on your phone...ta-da!

    Such a lovely idea. Some phone cases are so expensive. This is a great way to mix and match. I'll definitely be trying this x

    This is definitely a cute DIY <3 That said, having a 3GS makes this a little hard to work but I can always dream.

    Ahhhh I did this with my phone. Although the Iphone looks a lot easier to trace round than my Galaxy Ace. It's got so many jaggedy edges and little holes. But it seemed to come out ok. You have inspired me to make a glittery Christmasy one though :-)
