I had a sad dingy phone case…
…so I gave it new life with some paint!
And, because, I suspect you might want to know: The phone case is a cheap fabric covered cover I bought at a street fair for $6. I used black gesso, white gesso, and a touch of turquoise acrylic paint to paint it. I didn't seal it it in any way. It seems to be holding up just fine — a little wear and tear on the folding parts of the case — and the paint didn't affect the magnetic closure at all!
Finally, here's a quick head replacement selfie I took with my fabulous new phone case!

When I first saw the yellow I thought it was the painted case and I knew that couldn’t be the color you would have chosen. I scrolled down and saw the carefree face and then realized that was the new one. Just beautiful and no one else will have one like it:-)

Actually more like carefree hair as the face is pensive.

I painted and stamped a pale green purse years ago with leaves, flowers, and some doodling. The highlight was having people ask me where they could buy one. Great for my ego. You deserve the same ego boost. The case looks wonderful. You are so inspiring.

Ooh – love this idea. I’ve been hunting around for a canvas pencil case to do this with. Now I’m looking at anything with material!!

Lovely! I painted my iPad case using the cornflower stencil and it came out sooo cool. I get compliments on it all the time.
