DIY: Studded Cell Phone Case


I'm totally a DIY kind of gal, but this is actually my first DIY post!  I hope y'all enjoy!

 This super easy DIY is amazeballs and only takes a little time.  Start with a cell phone case of your choice (I buy mine from eBay for around $2 each) and studs in your choice of color and size (I buy them in small bulks from Etsy for around a couple of dollars.  CrushCrush is a great source on Etsy).
 Take something flat (I use a butter knife) and fold over the prongs on the studs.  I first lay out my studs to see what pattern I want before actually glueing them on.  Once you've decided on your pattern, start glueing!   (I love Gorilla Glue.  I've yet to lose a stud from a case with that stuff!)  It's as easy as that!
How great are these!?  For less than $5 and a few minutes, you've got a stylish case.  These are honestly my fave cases.  I never buy any designer cases as I like these more than any I've seen and they're just so cheap and easy I have a variety made up that I can switch around to.  As you can tell, I favor snakeskin cases!

Give it a try!  I'd love to see any reader's creative cases they come up with so feel free to email me that amazingness you create!
