It's always annoyed me that the camera on the front of my iPhone is a lot worse than the one on the back so when I was sent a selfie mirror sticker, it seemed like the perfect solution. I couldn't resist giving mine a cute little makeover and adding some animal ears for my phone. I want to make a whole set for all my cases - including some cat ones for my Crafterella case.

Instructions

  1. Small 108733 2f2015 05 04 114018 img 6698

    For this cute accessory, you'll need a selfie mirror sticker, some sugru in a cute colour and any embellishments you'd like to add.

  2. Small 108733 2f2015 05 04 114957 img 6707

    Break off half of the sugru, roll it into a ball and flatten into a disc that's slightly larger than the mirror.

  3. Small 108733 2f2015 05 04 115023 img 6709

    Stick the sugru circle on the back of your phone and then place the mirror on top, pushing it into the sugru to fix in place.

  4. Small 108733 2f2015 05 04 115155 img 6714

    Embellish with gems, rhinestones, pearls or anything you like.

  5. Small 108733 2f2015 05 04 115233 img 6715

    Use the remaining sugru to mould two rabbit ear shapes and use a toothpick to draw an inner ear design on the front of the ears.

  6. Small 108733 2f2015 05 04 115320 img 6717

    Attach the ears to the sugru circle so that they face the front and look cute.

  7. Small 108733 2f2015 05 04 115345 img 6719

    Embellish the front of the ears with gems.

    Finally, embellish the back of the ears and bend into a cute position. Leave to set overnight - which is the trickiest bit while you try not to play with your phone.
