As much as I love my iPhone, I seem to misplace and drop it to the extent where that must look pretty questionable. I don’t do well with phone cases, so I made a new home for my phone out of an old book.

You Will Need (7 things)
- An Xacto Knife
- A piece of Ribbon
- Paper Glue
- A Pencil(s)
- A Phone
- A hardcover Book that is larger than said phone
- A brush or Sponge of some sort
Steps (12 steps, 40 minutes)
-
1
place your phone where you plan on it being planted
-
2
trace the phone with a pencil
-
3
cut into he outlined area, a few pages at a time
-
4
continue cutting into the pages, being aware that as you get further into the book, the pages are going to try to shift your alignment.
-
5
So make sure that you’re pages are aligned, by making an L shape with your book before cutting
-
6
cut until your phone becomes flush with the book
-
7
then start gluing. Starting from the back of the book, place some glue on the page and even it out with a brush.
-
8
This helps make sure that the pages don’t get wet and wavy because of the glue.
-
9
on the last full page, glue only around the edges and attach a ribbon.

Since its right below the phone, the ribbon helps pop the phone out of the book. Not to mention that it really works like a bookmark, while gluing the pages.
-
11
Every couple of pages of gluing, press the pages together to make sure that everything is properly aligned. The ribbon is a good marker that helped me remember where I left off.

Let it dry overnight, and then you have the worlds most overpriced book!
