hey guys so today I'm going to show you how to make these soda-can inspired
phone cases if you're new to Kimspired DIY welcome
if you'd like to see more fun DIYs please click that subscribe button so to
get started you will need a pool noodle
you can use any color I chose pink and then you will want to choose the one
that is just a little under three inches
begin by measuring your phone make sure to measure a little under the camera
hole so when we put this all together it doesn't obstruct the camera view measure
all the way down to the end of the phone and then take your pool noodle and mark
off the measurement of your phone with a serrated knife
you will just want to cut straight across the pool noodle where you made
your marking I found that the serrated knife worked the best to cut the pool
noodle
now i'm going to take the piece that I just cut and cut that in half
I took the piece that I just cut in half and then I cut that piece in half so I
was left with just a little bit of the rounded part of the pool noodle
with some painters tape I taped off a little bit of the top and a little bit
of the bottom
i used some sterling silver acrylic paint to paint the top and the bottom where i
marked it off with the painters tape
once i was done painting it i set that aside and let it dry
when it was dried and carefully remove the painters tape making sure that none
of the paint peeled up with the tape
I went online and printed out the coca-cola logo and i just cut that down
to size so it would fit on to the pool noodle
the next part is optional and that is to laminate the label either with a
laminating sheet or contact paper
I did it because I thought it gave it more of the shiny can look I applied a
thin line of hot glue
I let that sit for just a minute so when I put it against the pool noodle it
wouldn't melt it once that side was bonded together
I just repeated the same process on the other side
here is mine after the label was on
now the next thing that you will need is a phone case I'm just going to use one
of these clear phone cases actually got this one on ebay for like ninety-nine
cents and i just applied some hot glue all around the phone case
and then I stuck the pool noodle - that once I let the glue dry just a little
bit
as you saw in the beginning you can choose your favorite soda and make
whatever kind of soda can phone case you would like when i first started making
these I thought it was going to be really bulky and hard to use my phone
but actually once i got the case on my phone and i started using my phone
it was actually really comfortable and super easy to use
I hope you guys enjoyed this video tutorial I would love it if you gave

favorite soda is until next time I hope you guys all have an amazing day
