Using Ready-made Popsockets and Decorating it Your Way

Hey Everyone,

Popsockets is something that has been in style quite recently. And to be honest, they are pretty handy. Helps you hold your phone with a lot of ease, and you can even keep it on the desk to watch something on your phone. Today’s blog will teach you how you can make yourself a very crafty popsocket. With such cheap and affordable plain popsockets in the market, you can grab yourself a few plain colored popsockets, and paint them the way you like it. Today’s blog will give you major guidelines on how you can paint them and how you can make them look more arty.

Step 1:

Once you have a plain colored popsocket, you need to detach the top of the popsocket very carefully. This is the part you will be painting, so it needs to be removed from the body of the popsocket to help you paint it better and with more ease.

Step 2:

Paint it away. You can use acrylics for the best results.  More than the paints, I feel it is the way you use those paints that defines how your craft will turn out. So if you want to make something super neat, you need to use paintbrushes. If you want something super catchy to the eye and which is more arty then classy, you should use sponge to paint the popsocket.

If you want to make it super glamorous, you can use glitter. Glitter makes everything beautiful doesn’t it? I love working with glitter. I like how crafts turn out all glittery once it is coated with glitter. I always wanted something which has glitter on it. I guess I should make one for myself now.

People usually are afraid to work with glitter because of the mess it creates. Well, as I mentioned in my earlier blogs, you can use a hair spray to keep the glitter in place. It will not shed, like usually glitter would when someone is using something glittery. Or, if you don’t have hair spray available, you can mix glitter in white glue and then paste it where it is you want to paste it. As white glue gives a transparent look when it dries, this will be a good alternative to hair spray.

Step 3:

Let the paint dry completely. You don’t want the paint to get spoilt so be very careful. You can use a hairdryer to dry it faster.

Step 4:

Attach this piece of the popsocket back to its body once it has dried completely. It is ready to be used now. You can paste the popsocket on your phone now and show it to your  friends and family.

Since it very easy to make. You can make yourself a handful of these.
