It’s here!  A couple of weeks ago I shared my DIY iPhone case that I customized to brand my blog on Facebook and Instagram.  A lot of you asked for the tutorial, so here we go.  YAY!  Now, let me first say that this tutorial is for an iPhone case; however, with the right supplies, this could be done for any phone if you can find a case that has a clear back.

create your own custom phone caseBlissdom was the first time I used my new case and it was a hit!  Thee perfect conversation starter, so imagine how much attention you could get carrying that with you wherever you go!  Just be sure to have your business cards on-hand too {wink}

So, without further ado — let’s personalize an iPhone case and brand your blog or shop!

Supplies needed:  computer program to design your insert (I used Adobe Photoshop), clear back phone case (mine is the Reveal by Griffin – pictured below), printer, card stock/paper, scissors, and an X-ACTO knife.

griffin iphone caseWe’ll start by designing our insert.  Measure you case.  Mine case is for the 4S, so mine is sized at 2.36″ x 4.725.”  Be sure your sizing it in inches and that the resolution is high enough for clarity.

personalized iphone caseThe you’ll design your artwork.  I started with the rectangle tool and matched the color to my blog.  I then added the layers of texts and my avatar.  Of course you’ll continue tweaking it until you feel you’ve created your masterpiece!

DIY iphone caseOnce you’ve completed the artwork for your insert, you’re done!  Now you’ll print and cut…  then we move onto fitting it into the case.  Grab your insert, phone case, a pen and X-ACTO knife.

DIY iphone caseUse your X-ACTO to cut out the camera slot.  It doesn’t have to be perfect either… I learned that the hard way {giggle}.  The imperfections of the cut will be hidden (the camera slot on my phone case has a black ring that hides the imperfect cut).

personalized iphone caseBe sure to do you cutting on a self healing mat or cutting board!  We wouldn’t want any damage to a table, desk or counter-top.

DIY Personalized iPhone CaseOnce your camera slot is cut out, round your corners.  I had a hole punch that I used; however, you could easily round them off with scissors as well.  Now we’re ready to place the insert into the case!  YAY!

DIY iphone caseNow you’re ready to sport you brand, blog or business!  I {love} it.
What’s even better is that it’s interchangeable!  Fabulousness.
Now it’s your turn to create your own DIY iPhone case
Happy Crafting and marketing yourself!  xo

I’ll be partying {here and here}.
