Materials & tools
Before we start, let’s gather the basics. You might already have some of these at home.
- Clear phone case / blank case — Choose one that fits your phone model.
- Printable sticker paper, photo paper, lamination sheets — For printing your own designs or photocards.
- Scissors, craft knife, ruler, cutting mat — For clean and precise cuts.
- Resin kit, silicone molds, UV lamp (optional, for resin method) — Adds 3D charms or glossy designs.
- Glue (E6000 or clear craft glue), Mod Podge, sealant spray — To secure and protect your designs.
Method 1 — Clear case collage with photocards/stickers (step-by-step)
This is one of the easiest and most popular ways to make a Kpop phone case and you can change it anytime without damaging your case.
Step 1: Prep your case and photos
Clean your clear phone case inside and out. Pick a few of your favorite photocards, stickers, or small printed images that fit your phone’s size.
Step 2: Printing tip size and bleed
If you’re printing images yourself, measure your case and make them slightly smaller (about 1–2 mm) so they fit neatly. You can create a paper template by tracing your phone case opening, then cutting it out.
Step 3: Layout and secure
Arrange your photocards or stickers on the inside of the case. If you want them to stay put, use double-sided tape or a small dab of glue on the edges.
Step 4: Seal your design
For a temporary look, simply snap the case on and you’re done. For a more permanent design, laminate the insert or brush on a thin layer of Mod Podge to protect it from scratches.
Method 2 — Painted & hand-drawn Kpop style case
Painting your phone case gives you a one-of-a-kind, artsy look that’s all yours.
Step 1: Prime the case
If your case is glossy, lightly sand it or use a primer so the paint sticks.
Step 2: Sketch your design
Use a pencil to outline your idea maybe a lightstick shape, your bias’s name, or a Kpop-inspired color palette.
Step 3: Paint in layers
Use acrylic paints or paint pens. Start with the background colors, then add details. Let each layer dry before adding the next.
Step 4: Seal it
When it’s completely dry, spray with a clear sealant or brush on Mod Podge to protect the artwork.
Quick design tips:
- Try popular Kpop color palettes (pastels for Twice, black & pink for BLACKPINK, purple for BTS).
- Keep lettering bold and simple so it stands out.
