Here’s another bonus — each method takes less than ten minutes! So keep calm and scroll on for some major case revamps.
1. Acrylic Paint
The secret trick to this DIY? Paint the *inside* of the phone case to ensure the paint won’t scrape off over time. If we painted the outside of the case, we’d have to paint over it with a sealant or Mod Podge.
Using acrylic paint, paint one color below the tape and one color above. Let dry, then paint one more coat so that the paint is opaque.
Materials
- clear iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 or HTC One case
- acrylic paint
- painter’s tape
- paint brush
- Q-tip
2. Washi Tape
Starting at the bottom of your phone, make horizontal stripes with your washi tape, alternating patterns. Be sure to lay them straight with no bubbles. Once you’ve covered your entire case, you can either trim the edges with an Xacto knife or fold the tape ends under.
Materials
