a cheap way to change the look of your cell phone!
I like to change the look of my phone quite often. I have had pics of my grandkids, my chihuahua Cuervo, my husband and different graphics. By using a clear faceplate that I ordered from E-Bay for a total of $1.99 including shipping I can change it every day if I want to without the expense of over $7.00 + shipping for decals I have found on the internet. Wow!

justlori entered her project Musical Faceplate For Your Phone to Daisy Rock 07 Nov 16:03

Step 1
Start with a phone. You will be placing the pic on the back of your phone.
Step 2
Purchase a clear faceplate for your phone. I found mine by going to E-Bay and punching in what make and model of phone I had. I recieved it about a week later for a total of $1.99 including shipping.
Step 3
While you are waiting for your faceplate to arrive find a picture you like. It can be clip art frowm the internet, a favorite picture of family or whatever you like, a magazine pic or even old sheet music.

Using the faceplate, trace around the shape.
Step 4
You now have a shape to cut out. It will have to be cut down smaller than your tracing. I start by cutting out the basic shape on the lines then I start trimming it down.
Step 5
Slowly cut it down until it fits in the faceplate. You can always trim down but you can never add it back on.
Step 6
Using your pen mark the spot where the speaker is.
Step 7
I used a paper punch and punched out two overlapping holes. You can also use small scissors.
Step 8
Your project is completed after clipping your face plate to your phone.
Step 9
For added decoration I took a pic of the treble clef or anything else I have used and assigned the pic as a screensaver!
