Re-using an old mobile case

Re-using an old mobile case :

Hello everyone, 

I wanted to share how I gave a new look to my Mobile case .. # DIY #handmade with no cost..!!!

Re-purposing the old and unused things at home is always fascinating to me. I know that most us are interested in such ideas as we are grown up watching our elders doing that.

Its really difficult for me to throw away the old things, so I keep thinking how can I recycle or reuse them. In many ways we can re-purpose them like a decorative item, storage purpose, cleaning items.

Recently I bought a mobile case from a leading online shopping website. Unfortunately the item I received was not in a really good condition and due to some reasons I could not return that as well.

So I used it for few months and later it really turned unattractive. As I said it turned unattractive but was totally usable & very strong.

I wanted to give a new look to that old case and the result is really amazing for me.

So here in this post I wanted to share how I transformed my old mobile case to a new look.. !!! :-) :-) :-)

Material Used:

Old mobile case

Glue ( I used basic craft glue from a dollar store , can try even Mod Podge/Fevicol any   glue which dries transparent)

Glitter ( I have selected silver glitter, you can choose as per your idea..)

Paints in Different shades ( I used acrylic and fabric )

Paint brushes ( optional )

Sponge brush to apply glue ( optional )

Procedure:

1. Cleaned out the surface where we need to decorate, then applied a coat of glue.

2. Sprinkled glitter liberally all over the glue without any gaps and let it dry for some time.

3.Once it is almost dry, I used paints to give a polka dot look in different colors.

4. Painted a thin border line in golden yellow shade and left it to dry completely.

5. Once the glitter & paint are completely dry, now its time to give the top securing layer so that the glitter does not fall off.

Mixed glue with few drops of water and applied a liberal top layer with a sponge brush.

6. It took more than 24 hours for drying and the final look was :-D :-D :-D ... !!!

It took around 1-2 hours making time in total excluding drying period, and costed nothing as all the material used are very basic items which we can easily find in our house.

Due to the top glue coat, the surface feels much smoother and glitter doesn't fall off.

It was wonderful making it and using it as well...!!!


Crafting is so much fun..!!!
