I don’t know about you, but changing up my phone case has become a pretty normal thing for me. However, buying phone cases can get expensive, and they never offer any personalization! Today I am showing you how to create a DIY phone case with the help of you Cricut and some vinyl!

The possibilities of owning a Cricut are endless. From small details like a phone case to big projects like giant paper flowers – my Cricut is like a crafty superhero! If you haven’t heard of a Cricut machine before or many you have but are wondering if it’s for you, check out this post here.

On the flip-side, if you own a Cricut but are confused and overwhelmed, I can help you, too, with my Cricut Freedom Workshop or download this one-stop how-to guide for Design Space, the Cricut Confidence ebook, that will have you flying through projects in less than a week!

So about those custom DIY phone cases! They are quite simple to make and only require vinyl as your primary material for creating personalized details.

You can create any case the same way. In my example below, I used a gold glitter phone case, black textured vinyl, and transfer tape to add my custom design to the phone case.

The first step is to load your design in Design Space. Then cut and weed your image. Make sure to check the size of your case and scale the image accordingly.

Next, burnish your design onto the transfer tape. Use the Cricut scraper to rub the vinyl onto the tape from the front and back. Then lift the liner away from the transfer tape.

Center and place your image onto the phone case. Take your time to press the image down with your fingers or the Cricut scraper tool.

Carefully lift your transfer tape up, going slow and stopping anytime you need to adjust the vinyl.

As a final step, I recommend sealing the exterior of the phone case with mod podge clear acrylic sealer. Sealing the design will just help the design stay put and repel water.

  1. Can you put the design on the inside of the case in stead of the out side? Would it look as good?

    1. The only reason that may not work is most vinyl has the pretty pattern to texture on the front so reversing it would mean the sticky side showing through, rather than the pretty side.

  2. Hi, I’m new to this Cricut stuff… But I thought this would be a great learning item to start with.
    Where do I find the right cover, to fit my phone’s cover holes (for camera and torchlight) , or do I have to measure & cut the holes out myself?
    The camera and the torch light are roughly top centre of my phone cover (about where the ‘R & O’ are on your > ‘Throw’ Kindness around like Confetti cover).
    hope that makes sense ..lol 🙂

    1. Hi Jen!

      I would adjust the scale of the design to fit your phone. Measure the open space of your phone case and then adjust the scale of the file in Cricut Design Space to fit your phone. 🙂
