Guest Post: DIY iPhone Case by Rebecca from Let Them Eat Cake

Ok folks, you know I don't even own a smart phone, but I understand, most of you probably do. Rebecca has been kind enough to come share a super cool tutorial with us today. She happens to be one of the many fantastic ladies hanging out on the sidebar this month! - Ricki -

Hey guys, my name is Rebecca and I blog over at Let Them Eat Cake. Today I am sharing with you how to make your own custom iPhone case in just minutes. It's super easy and the best part is, you can change it up whenever you want! So here is the tutorial:

So I totally am a picky person when it comes to so many things. Such a purses, cases for my phone, etc.... and of course, I needed a new case for mine. All the cases I liked were either way out of my price range or just not available. I knew there were people who came up with ways to create your own and for cheap. And was I right!

I ran into a little site after doing some web searches called Mags Rags To Riches and found she had a tutorial there on making your own! Awesome. So I decided to finally give it a try today.

Her original post for this is found HERE and of course, her photos look so much better then mine.

Sucky thing is when you only rely on your phone as your only camera, then need to photograph your phone...what is a girl to do? So I had to try the best I could and use my webcam on my laptop. So I apologize for the horrible shots in advance that I tried to clean up a bit and edit to make them a bit more likeable. Oh well, you get the gist of it anyway.

So here is what I used:

Scissors

Pencil

iPhone

Scrapbook Paper {from Michaels}

Clear Backing Case

I then turned the paper over so the back was facing up and traced around my phone in the exact shape of the curves and all

Next, I cut the paper with the scissors and put the paper inside the clear case to trace around where the back of the camera lens would be

I then just cut at first around the circle but it was not working as well as I wanted it to so I then just took Mag's advice and cut a big square around the whole shape

Eh, it's not too shabby for a first attempt. I may re try and prefect the back camera area since I have plenty of paper left {which by the way only cost me $0.20} so I can afford to screw up and play around. And the best part, I can switch out the back now as often as I want and to any special occasion as well. How perfect is that? Thanks Mag for the great idea.

Thanks Rebecca! Feel free to stop by any time!
P.S. Stay tuned for my "ring reveal" tomorrow!!!
