These DIY smartphone accessories are a creative and cost-efficient way to decorate your prized possession.
The No-Sew Phone Armband DIY by '2nd Funniest Thing' only takes up a few minutes of your time, and will cost a lot less than store-bought products. All you need is a plastic place mat and hair elastics. It doesn't require a needle and thread. For those who want a quick smartphone fix before a jogging session, this would come in handy.
Other DIYs for phone case designs provide more ideas for you to be inspired by. The scenic phone case video tutorial by ONARDs requires just a clear phone case and waterproof paint -- the design is there for you to follow, but the clear case is your blank canvas for creativity.
With blogs, pictorials and video tutorials available, DIYs are simpler and more accessible than ever before.
