Hand Painted Tribal Cell Phone Case

The cell phone monster is back!  Watch-out electronic devices. Ima throw glitter at you.

I took a little brake from electronic accessorizing for two reasons. 

1. The response to the lace cell phone case was phenomenal, and I knew that the following case would be a disappointment. I think we have passed the appropriate amount of time to avoid that. 

2. My cell phone guy on Canal street disappeared! Seriously. One day he was there, the next a storefront had taken over. I spent 2 weeks mourning my loss, and 2 weeks searching for new guys. I found some street vendors in Soho, so cell phone crafting has officially resumed! And its badder than ever. Bad-ASS, that is. 

Cue the tribal music.

Hand painted Tribal Cell Phone Case. 

The interwebs tell me that tribal patter is spot on trend. You're welcome. 

Supplies:

1. Martha Stewart craft paint from Michael's.

2. A cell phone case from my new guys on Broadway in Soho.

3. A small paint brush and an extra small paint brush from Michael's.

4. Painter's tape from Blick. 

Step 1:

Tape off the edges of the case with the painter's tape. 

Step 2:

Use the small paintbrush to paint stripes across the back of the case. The stripes should be in a variety of sizes and in no logical pattern. Let dry.

Step 3:

Use the extra small paintbrush to paint on details and patterns. 

Step 4:

Let dry. 

Step 5:

Remove the painter's tape. 

The most fun part was coming up with the different details and patterns.
