6 Steps How To Make A Pressed Flower Phone Case

How To Make A Pressed Flower Phone Case - Make yourself a fully customized phone case by creating a pressed flowers phone case. Each one is unique and will be a big talking point among your friends. Best of all, you can make a pressed flowers phone case according to your own floral preferences. Use your creative side as you make your own arrangements for your new phone case.

Steps by Steps :

1. Start with your pressed flowers and a clear phone case. Arrange the flowers on the outside of the phone case until you find a pattern you like. Take your time and be gentle. Pressed flowers are extremely brittle.

2. Using a small brush or toothpick, dab some clear glue onto the back of each pressed flower. Press the flower firmly onto the phone case to stick it. It is important to ensure that your flowers are as flat as possible with no parts protruding.

3. Mix your epoxy in a 2:1 ratio. It should be two parts resin and one part epoxy. The epoxy is the hardener, so the more you add, the faster your phone case will harden. If you want a long working time, then add less.

4. Pour the epoxy over the phone case. Start with small amounts first and let the epoxy spread over the phone case. If you add too much it will drip and run down the sides. Make sure you put down some paper as this part can get messy.

5. Burn the epoxy to remove bubbles. Carefully guide the torch flame over the epoxy to burst any bubbles that may form during the pour. This creates a smooth, glassy effect.

6. Leave to rest for 24 hours. The epoxy is viscous and will even out as it rests. Leave it undisturbed for at least 24 hours. Be careful not to touch the phone case to see how dry it is. That leaves fingerprints!
