I got a shopping bag when I was over in Ireland this past march. The inner lining was so pretty and I couldn't bring myself to throw it out. Then I thought to myself, instead of spending another $20 on a new phone case, I could just make my own using the pretty paper from the bag.
All I needed was...
A clear phone case
Scissors
Pencil
Exacto blade or something pointing and sharp that can cut the hole where the camera lens is
I just took the bag, cut the handles off and unfolded it
Basically find a place on the paper where you want your cover to be. Trace it, then cut. You will have to trim the sides a few times. In between trims, test it first, so you don't over cut and have to start all over.
Then fit it inside the case. Find the camera lens hole... Trace that, and carefully cut away. It helps if you trace over it a few times with a pen, and press down so it appears on the other side of the paper. It will be easier the cut out that way.
Then Voila! A new phone case!
And you have extra paper for when you want to change it up.
