  • How to make a gadget cover. Painted Ds Case - Step 1
    Step 1

    First you need to get your hands on paints. I used Montana paint pens but any acrylic pens will do.

    Next you should lightly sketch the design you want onto your case. A white case makes this easier, if you're case isn't white you may have to paint a base so you're colours are nice and clear.

    Step 3

    Time to paint! Start with the darker colours and then build the lighter ones on top of this, make sure it looks good shut.

    If you want to define the art then you can simply outline details with a sharpie.

    Final step ... Varnish! A spray is best, I use prismacolor clear varnish but you can experiment with anything reallyM

It should do but you need to be careful with it till you can get a varnish on it, personally I prefer acrylics as they wear better and go one a lot easier. You may have to do a few layers depending on how good your paints are! Happy

It's a good case too I should say, has a spare stylus and a bit for it and holds a few games ... I've dropped the DS a couple times (I'm clumsy) and its been fine. It's an imp case Happy
