studded iphone cover

here's a little picture run through/tutorial of how i studded my iphone case or those who asked way back when i posted this in january! sorry it's a little overdue.. i've been through the mill and back since losing my phone shortly after that post, so i wanted to wait until i got my replacement phone before i started studding away.

so basically all you need is a plain black iphone shell, well any phone case really - it's not an iphone restricted thing haha - mine was from ebay for about £1.50. it's pretty perfect to glue things too as it's totally matte in finish. then buy a little pack of about 100 iron on studs from ebay for a dirt cheap price, some tweezers and some superglue - et voilá.

there's not really much technique to it. i just glued them up and stuck them in a grid like fashion, easiest thing ever. i placed them all onto the cover before actually sticking any down, to make sure they all fit properly and lined up well. i started from one corner and worked my way down to the opposite after that, just so i wasn't knocking any out of place once i'd glued them. then leave it to dry out and stick, then you're done!

i love it! the whole cover cost about £2.10 to make entirely - pretty good i say. let me know if any of you try it or have tried it out already!
