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!

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!

Instructions

  1. Small 001 1289082299

    Start with a phone. You will be placing the pic on the back of your phone.

  2. Small 003 1289082325

    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.

    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.

  4. Small 009 1289082552

    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.

  5. Small 010 1289082665

    Slowly cut it down until it fits in the faceplate. You can always trim down but you can never add it back on.

  6. Small 010 1289082724

    Using your pen mark the spot where the speaker is.

  7. Small 011 1289082791

    I used a paper punch and punched out two overlapping holes. You can also use small scissors.

    Your project is completed after clipping your face plate to your phone.

    For added decoration I took a pic of the treble clef or anything else I have used and assigned the pic as a screensaver!
