Materials:

• Cardstock
• Clear Phone Cover
• Fingertip Detail Knife
• Photos
• Washi Tape

Instructions:

1. To begin, you’ll need a clear phone cover. These are available at many large department stores, and can also be ordered online. You can usually choose from completely clear, or a clear back with a colored rim.
    
2. Use the link to the downloadable template as your starting point. Important: use the cardboard insert that came with your case as a guide. All cases are slightly different in size!

3. Carefully cut out the template.

4. For a graphics-only cover, layer your favorite scrapbook paper and punched shapes. Trim excess from edges.

5. To add a photo to the cover, print to approximately 1.5" x 1.5" (if printing at a photo lab, ask if they have a “passport size” photo option). Add photo and elements to your template, just as if you were creating a mini layout.

6. Slip your completed cover inside the plastic, and snap onto your phone!

More ideas:

1. Photograph or scan your child’s favorite drawing, and resize to fit within the template.
    
2. Print several templates on white cardstock & encourage your kids to paint or draw their own designs.
    
3. Remind yourself of your 2013 focus word, goals, or intentions by adding them to your phone cover.
