I was ABOUT to put down the $80 for a case. I seriously was. But then the cheap in my blazed to life and I though, screw that... I'll make my own. I love the designs. There are some that caught my eye, but none that made me think, "I HAVE to have that!" And I wasn't about to shell out that amount of money on something that I had luke-warm attraction to. Nuh-uh.
So I ordered a cheap case off of Amazon (I probably could have gotten one cheaper off Ebay, but I'm an Amazon fan) for around $3.00. The cost was mainly shipping :/ It's a matte, hard plastic one that snaps into place.
Also ordered a red one.
Gorilla Glue!!
Bling BlingI didn't really have a design in mind. I just figured that I'd make it up as I go along and cross my fingers. I sacrificed a couple necklaces and earrings to my little project, too. It's fine since they were pieces that never made any special appearance anyway.
I didn't get to use the owl because it didn't go with my color scheme :/ Next time.
Work in progress.
And then....

I am incredibly proud and satisfied with how it turned out. >.< I'm actually considering making a second one, a more colorful one. The total cost for everything was actually less than $30. So, if nothing grabs your attention on the site, I think that you should just grab some Krazy Glue (But be careful with it. Use toothpicks to position the stones you use.) and get to work!

Awesome job with the DIY phone case Elisa :)
Yah I have to admit that $80 USD for a phone case is a bit pricey. I would seriously have to really really want that case to fork that out. I'm sure with shipping and all it would come to $100 CDN +
:\
oooo snap! thats noooice. This inspires me, I need to do that. I've seen the plain ones with a bunch of rhinestones for about $30 bucks, but I can't spend that much on a fone cover thats ridiculous!
Thanx for this great idea! I def wanna try this sometime soon.

Great job! It's better than shelling out the $80 since the one you have is the one and only. How long does it take for the glue to completely dry?
