DIY MARBLED PHONE CASE
Here is another DIY for you today! As well as some written instructions I also created a video which you can check out below!
Things you'll need:
- Clear phone case (I got mine for around £3 from eBay, there are tons on there for lots of different phones!)
- Nail varnish
- Container
- Room temp tap water
- Nail varnish remover & cotton pads.
1. Choose your colours and fill a container to about 3 times the depth of your phone case with tap water, deep enough so that your case can be fully submerged.
2. Lay down a protective cover to protect the surface that your are working on. Unscrew all the tops of your chosen colours as you'll need to work quickly for the next part.
3. Start dripping your colours one by one in the container. Let the first colour spread before you do the next one to allow the colours to merge better.
4. Once you've added all your colours swirl them together to create the marbled effect.
5. When you're happy with the design submerge your case into the water. You need to keep the back of the case up so that the design is on the inside of the case.
6. Once you have submerged the case, clear away all the polish that is still floating in the water by taking a pen/bobby pin/pencil etc and swirling it through the polsih. It should all come away over multiple goes fairly easily. After you have removed it all take the case out and leave it to try. n.
7. To clean up the case use some nail varnish remover on a cotton pad and clear away any excess polish on the back of the case. You should be left with a smooth back and the design all on the inside!
And that's it your done! You'll now have a unique patterned phone case for only a few pounds.
