DIY Bridesmaids Gift Idea: Personalized Glitter Cell Phone Cases

How many of you received a proposal over the holidays? If you were asked a very important question, and your answer was “yes!” … then congratulations! We love hearing proposal and engagement stories that happen over the holiday season, and are always excited to receive emails from brides interested in starting the wedding planning process. A question we sometimes get is, “What do I get my bridesmaids as a ‘thank you’ gift?” Thoughtful gifts are the best–whether they are homemade do-it-yourself craft projects or gorgeous Kate Spade bangles. We found this super cute and easy diy project from Design*Sponge!

(All the instructions for this fun diy glitter cell phone project can be found here)

 

What You Need:

• glitter
• tinsel or streamers
• Mod Podge
• brushes
• paint
• scissors and/or hole punch
• clear iPhone cases

If you want to go the extra step, after your cases are dry, you can cut out a stencil of your bridesmaids’ names and spray paint them individually on each case. We suggest a cute cursive font!
