I am always impressed, a little fascinated, and sometimes scared by some of the DIY tech projects that we are increasingly seeing around the web. Identifying your phone charger with washi tape? Good! Turning a used remote control into a baby teether? Not so much. So I was definitely intrigued when I came across this video on Martha Stewart’s website for DIY fabric iPhone covers. Their associate crafts editor Erin Furey takes you through what seems to be a not entirely impossible way to customize your own cases with pretty gorgeous results. Mostly what you need is a blank iPhone case, fabric of your choice, the printable template, and some decoupage glue.
For me the trick would be to be waiting for the glue to dry – thoroughly – no matter how eager I am to see if it fits my phone. Also, that whole innate crafting ability thing. Minor detail.
If it works out for you, let us know. I think this could be a really cool, affordable DIY gift when you’ve got a whole lot of people to shop for. Especially if you start adding monograms or customizing with personal touches. Like forget flowers – I’d totally find Delilah some cool Dr. Who Fabric while Kristen would get something with Ryan Gosling on it. They do make patterns like that, right?
