How to make a DIY phone decal with some everyday items [Video]

Joe Fedewa is 23 years old and lives near Lansing, Michigan. He's been interested in technology ever since he got his first flip phone. Since then he's evolved from flip phones to smartphones, and become even more interested in everything from cord cutting to web browsers. Joe is also an avid sports fan and sci-fi movie geek. He's a Joe of all trades.

Our phones have become a part of us. They go everywhere with us, and they sometimes demand more attention then the people around us. We fill them up with apps that reflect who we are, and we use wallpapers and cases to dress them up to our liking. If you’re like me you can’t commit to just one look, and you don’t want to buy a bunch of cases and skins to use. So how can you easily customize your phone in a million different ways without spending a lot of money? Nail polish.

A few weekends ago I was watching my sisters paint their nails when I got the idea to use nail polish to customize my phone. After several attempts I found an easy way to make your own professional looking decal with just a few random things from around the house. The best part is you can easily remove the decal with just a dab of nail polish remover and use a brand new design. Check out the video to see how you can make your own!

    A big green block S would look nice!

    Definitely would recommend using a non-acetone polish remover to clean off your decals. Last thing anyone wants is a melted battery cover

    Good tip. My covers are matte so I didn’t even think about that.
