Jessica Marren — April 8, 2013 — Tech
A great way to protect your phone and incorporate some nature into your look is with a beautifully pressed floral DIY smartphone cover. Pressing wild flowers is a great way to preserve their color and beauty, and this simple DIY activity can be applied to any protective gadget case.
To make your own pressed floral cover first arrange the flowers on your case to achieve your desired layout, but remember that you will be covering the flowers with a translucent resin. Use a small amount of glue to attach the flowers to the case. Follow the directions on the resin to mix the proper consistences and then slowly pour it over the flowers. Spread the resin close to the edge of the case using your craft stick.
Once your first coat of resin has dried, you may need to apply a few more coats to finish it off. This DIY project is a great springtime accessory that is visually striking and easy-to-make.
