Hello..today I am going to write about a DIY craft which I did on my phone cover yesterday to make it more attractive without spending money as usual me being such a miser....
I have a Samsung phone with which came a back cover which is transparent, plain and colorless. with time it got dirty also. So I did a little bit of doodling on it which was nice but I destroyed the nice effect by coloring the back with dark colors which took away the nice effect. It is actually a failed effort but what I can tell you are some tips to make it working without spending much money.. :-)
So heres what I did and it would be followed with tips....
Step 1: Draw doodles on your plain back cover with permanent marker or else color will bleed into your hands later.I had black only in my store so its all black doodle.
TIP 1: Try using sharp tip pen to make design more clear .
TIP 2: Using colorful markers would definitely add more dimension to the cover.
TIP 3: You can make personalized doodles. I am from tourism industry so mine says TRAVEL....

Step 2: Now with color that will stay on plastic , color the inner side of the cover. Now my disaster is that light and bright colors that I had were all dried up so I had to paint in dark colors but the overall effect was very dark as the colors hid the doodles and they were not clearly visible.
TIP 4: Use bright and light colours to paint.
Step 3: Cut a white paper which will fit inside your cover. Cut the various holes for camera and LED and insert the paper in the cover and put the cover on the phone. Transformation complete...
TIP 5: Dont forget the paper or else the colors may adhere to your phone too.
This type of transformation can be done on white phones and as the permanent marker can be easily removed with thinner or acetone so there is no worry of going wrong. This transformation is a good option for someone who wants a personalized touch for their phone and someone like me who wanted a new cover...
This is my final phone cover transformation. I removed all the coloring because my doodles were no where to be seen. Its kinda okay for me and next time I will follow from my tips as mistakes make us more experienced. :-)
