How to: Glam up your iPhone Charger

Most of us have tried our fair share of DIY projects from Pinterest and occasionally failed, but have you ever tried to add glitter  to your iPhone charger? Probably not. Here at B&G Designs, we love absolutely anything sparkly..so any chance we get to make an item of ours glittery, we are one hundred percent down for it.

First, you need to gather all of your crafting supplies. All you'll need for this project is your iPhone charging block and charger, some mod podge, a small paintbrush, some tape, clear nail polish and any color glitter of your choosing. Once you have all of your supplies together, then you can begin the glitterfying process.

The first step of this DIY is to cover the areas that you won't be putting glitter on with some tape to ensure that the glitter doesn't get anywhere that you don't want it to be. Then cover your charging block and the charging part of your charger in a thin layer of mod podge. Then, quickly sprinkle your glitter evenly onto the charging block so that as much glitter can stick before the mod podge begins to dry. Continue this process until the charging block and charger is completely filled with glitter. Once you're done with that, let the first coat of mod podge dry. Once that coat is dry, add another thin layer of mod podge and cover up any areas that are lacking glitter so that it isn't patchy. Then you let the mod podge dry one more time. Lastly, you're going to put a coat of clear nail polish on it to leave it with a shiny finish. Then once it dries, it's ready to use!

Here are some final products:


Here's an iridescent purple glitter charger.
You can even do a pattern on your charger! This orange and blue chevron pattern makes your iPhone charger stand out even more than just the plain glitter.
This one is a personal favorite...because who doesn't love hot pink glitter?


We hope you enjoyed today's DIY. Stay tuned for the next DIY post sometime in the near future.

Love always,
