I like to buy iPhone cases in bulk on eBay, they are super cheap and even more fun to decorate and even sell. Today, I was on crafty excitement overload when I used Aleene's Fabric Fusion Peel & Stick Sheets to make an array of different designs! The fun is that you can start with one case and just keep layering the fabric whenever you tire of the look!
Here is a video tutorial I made that show how easy this craft is
I've been in a sparkly mood lately and have been gluing Tulip Glam It Up Crystals on just about everything! Not only my iPhone case and headphones, but now even my charger. Think I'm crazy? Check out "crystal phone charger" on Etsy, Pinterest and eBay and you'll see from the listings that I'm not the only one. People are charging big bucks for these and now I'm going to show you how to do it on the cheap!
Side note - yes, I blinged my headphones too. Don't judge!
Use your toothpick to add a layer of glue to one side of the charger. Next, spread out your crystals. Use a crayon or Tulip® Glam-It-Up!™ Fashion Art Tweezers™to pick up and apply each one. NOTE: The mini size of crystals works best!
Apply your crystals one-by-one.
You can decide what pattern you like - flowers, ribbons, circles or just all random and mixed up like the one I made.
Halfway finished!
I also did the other end of the charger too.
Done! I love it, it makes me feel so Hollywood. Like, if I happened to be walking the red carpet and needed to charge my phone, I could whip this out and still feel glamorous!
Hey guys! I LOVED making these cases. I've been seeing everybody with their crazy cell phone cases and decided to make my own versions. My mom recently bought a batch of clear cases on eBay super cheap and they just happened to fit my iPhone 4s.
The most common way of decorating these is the "decoden" method and using bathroom silicone and all kinds of little charms and baubles. I tried out using Puffy Paint because I wanted a brightly colored background and it worked! Once you see all the colors of Puffy Paint, you'll get a lot of ideas. The Puffy Paint acts as a glue to hold everything in place.
Here is my tutorial video:
You'll definitely get addicted. Enjoy!

Puffy Paint, topped with giant gems, then filled in with Tulip Glam It up Crystals!
Cover your work surface with plastic. Squirt the Puffy Paint on the phone case and move it around with the chopstick so you have a thick even layer. When placing items on the cover, start with the larger objects and then use the Tulip Crystals to "fill in." Make sure to let dry over night or ever longer if needed!
We are constantly amazed by the work of PJ Linden! She creates amazing creations in Tulip® 3D Fashion Paint™ and Scribbles® Dimensional Fabric Paint! We just love the Rainbow fun in her 7D camera! Look at all the amazing sprinkles and detail! PJ says that she loves the endless possibilities with Scribbles and that it is her favorite medium of all time! Keep an eye on this one, one day you may just see her name on the gallery placards at MOMA!
Here's a closer look at the detail!
Her shoe creations are cool as well. It is so interesting how a basic substrate like shoes is totally transformed into something high end when the paint is applied!
You know you want to rock these heels!
An iPhone case has never looked so cool. Makes me want to break out the paint and dot away at my own iPhone case!
Forget paying for expensive custom frames, these spotted spectacles would make everyone do a double take!
This candy sprinkle bear backpack is so unique. It must have taken forever to complete with all this detail!
Here's a cool video of her process that she calls "future preservation technique". It's so cool that she's using our paints to make modern art!
