Phone Decoration!

I recently bought a new smart phone. I went for the Sony Ericsson xperia Arc (gold) o_0. Anyways, it is very fancy and I love Ericssons phones. My last phone where a Xperia mini (which wasn't actually that good). Aaaaaanyways!

This is me and my phone before the makeover

I wanted to decorate my phone in a decoden inspired way. This is some of the inspiration I found.

At first I was going for a theme like: My little pony, Hello kitty, or something like that since I have a bunch of decorating stuff like that from old jewelry and such. I also have a lot of nail decorating stones, pearls and gems (only plastic ones though ^^), which I wanted to fill in the spaces between the bigger stuff. I collected these things, and thought they went pretty well together color wise.

I tryed out different positions of the items, and then glued them on when I had decided. From there, it's just being creative with the filler gems!

I started out by adding the biggest decoration pieces, to get an overall look of the outlay.

-pink rose and cameo is from a Lisbeth Dahl bracelet

-red rose broke of a ring.

-big hearts and gems: some are stickers and some are flat back rhinestone leftovers.

-big gold ornament from a ring I bought at H&M.

-small gell roses from nail decoration kit bought on e-bay.

-all smaller rhinestones and flat back pearls allso from nail decoration purchase from e-bay.

-butterfly is from a belly button piercing.

I mostly used regular universal glue.
I used Dana lim, which is definitely not the best glue for this, but it's cheap and easy to acquire (in Denmark).
For the odd shaped pieces I filled in the bigger spaces between the piece and the phone cover, with my glue gun,
and then glued the contacting surfaces with the universal glue.

And then I just kept on filling up the spaces with different sized rhinestones and flat back pearls.
I also added some gems to the roses for extra bling!

This is the final result!

I love every bit of it, and it makes me very happy to look at it every day ^^ 

It took me about 4 straight hours to put this together, and it hurt my neck a lot. But I'm so happy with my awesome phone now.! The best thing is that it doesn't have the same over the top childish cuteness as the ones I found for inspiration.

Buying stuff for decoration:

I allways use ebay to buy decoration stuff like this, because it is ridiculously chap! So here are some sellers I've used and am very happy with. My experience is that the shipping takes about 2 weeks from China.
