I went to Bugis with a friend and explored Arab Street. We bought the little blings for my phone!

The blings itself cost around $3 plus a packet. I bought around 7 packets, tweezers and glue.

I wasn’t really sure how to bling my phone at first since it was my first time. First thing I did – bought a plastic iphone4 cover for $15 dollars around Bugis area.

I wanted something with black opaque sides. I found the place for the blings thanks to one of Xiaxue’s Guide to life videos! Click here to watch the video!

Well, i wanted to buy the Araldite glue but the shop owner said that the glue above, was ‘meant for decorating gadgets’ so I bought it instead.

Verdict: The glue dried very fast and I had to put extra layers it, but it sticks the blings well!

So i started arranging the blings like this.

I almost died doing the ribbon. Seriously damn hard for a newbie like me! My sense of proportion for the ribbon was plain nonsense.

Notice there’s a hole in the ribbon. 1 of the red blings came off after a while.

Told you the glue dried too fast.

Here’s a tip for you guys, once you’re done and the glue is dry – you should slap layers of nail polish on top of the blings to make it shinier. It will also ensure that your gems won’t fall off.

I used the glitter nail polish so there’s glitter on my phone now!

So pretty right? Hehehe :P

Yay! Your very own phone cover and no one else will have the exact same design, because you did it yourself!! ;)

HAPPY BLINGING!
