DIY Pressed Flower Phone Case

Pressing fresh flowers is a great way to preserve their natural beauty, and by decorating your phone case with them, you can showcase their vivid colors and add a little touch of nature to an otherwise ordinary gadget.

Materials:
- Hard plastic phone case
- Pressed dried flowers
- Craft glue
- Clear casting epoxy resin
- 2 plastic cups - 4 wooden stirrers
- Wax paper - Acetone nail polish remover
- Cotton swab

Directions:
1. Place the pressed flowers on your case and play around with different flower arrangements. If you don't want to fully cover up the beautiful pattern on the back of the case, you just need to use a few strategically-placed flowers to add some dimension and color.
2.Secure each element in place using craft glue when you've found an arrangement you like.
3. Mix your resin according to the instructions. Do make sure you are in a well-ventilated space.
4. Place your phone case onto a piece of wax paper — this is where any spare drips of resin will land.
5. When your resin is fully mixed, slowly pour a small amount of your newly mixed resin onto the center of your case. Use a wooden stick to spread it out evenly, making sure to cover the entire back portion. Add more resin, bit by bit, until the flowers are fully covered.
6. If any resin spills over the edges, dip a cotton swab in acetone nail polish remover, and rub until the resin comes off.
7. Once your first coat of resin has dried, examine your case to make sure all the flowers have been properly coated. If needed, add a second coat of resin.

All done. What a beautiful personalized phone case! What a wonderful way to preserve and display the beautiful flowers!
