Personalized mobile cover

Hello everyone!!

Well we all know that "necessity is the mother of all inventions" , and my this idea is a true example of this proverb. The problem is the cell I use. Well everything else is working just fine with it but its body is getting old :P so a few days back I went to purchase a cover for it and apparently found out that the company no longer makes it and its not even available in china market. So out of helplessness I had to resort back to my original cover which was well in a very bad condition.

So by now you must have understood where this all is going. And yes you are right. Today I am going to recycle my old mobile cover and give it my personal touch.I just love leaving my mark on everything I own. It makes them look different and well yeah just me.

And yeah its not necessary to use old cover only. You can even decorate your new one too. Its just about making it different and unique.

Now this time its going to be a little inconvenient to show you the steps because I accidentally deleted the pics :( ( MY bad) but will give you some general detail so that you also can make your own ;)

So the materials I used are

• mobile cover
• fevicol
• two different colored anchor threads
• some gem stones
• acrylic 3D outliner
• varnish

The first step was to pick out a design. And as i told u earlier that these days am obsessed about owls so it had to be an owl.

I started by outlining my owl body i.e. just the wings and face. You need a boundary for lining your thread. After the outline was dry enough to work with i started lining the thread in one of the wings. The process is simple. Apply some fevicol on the base and start arranging the thread in concentric manner form out to in. (just have a look at final picture, you will get the idea) . And as i have said in my earlier post that if your hands are too big or too clumsy use a pair of tweezers or something like that.

And then I repeated the same process with other wing and the body. And now since its threads that i used and i will definitely will frequently put it in my pockets so there is a chance that it will come off, so to avoid that coat it with a little fevicol water or some acrylic thinner or nail paint thinner. It will then become rock hard and will not come off.And than after it all dried now it was time for the eyes. And I can't tell you how confused I was between buttons but finally it was gems that i chose because they perfectly matched the copper outline. Now after i was done with the main design I let myself have some fun and drew some borders and flowers.And just to finish it off I coated it all with varnish . And taddda here I have my own mobile cover.

I used threads and gems but you can use anything. there are varieties of beads and gems and buttons are available. you van use anything you like, make any design. And its not necessary that only girls do this, even boys can do it. If you are imaginative enough , you can even make batman design, awesome right?? So go on have some fun.

See you next time :)
