DIY cross studded phone case


These cases usually sell for about $30-$40 but I spent about $12 on this! I got all my supplies from ebay.
FLORAL IPHONE 4 CASE: Cath Kidtson floral case from powerseller2009dhm   $3.98

I first aligned the studs on the case without gluing them on to see how many I needed for the length and width I wanted the cross to be.  It came out to 12 studs long and I did two columns.  I then added a square (4 studs) to each side beginning on the 3rd row to make the sides of the cross.  Once I had them where I wanted them, I started carefully gluing each one to the right spot.  These studs already had glue in them and you could also use heat to melt the glue and glue them on.  However, I wanted to use my own glue.  I heard loctite glue is also good for gluing these studs.  Simple and affordable DIY craft!! I'm loving it!!
