DIY Star Trek Spock IPhone Case Tutorial


I haven't seen a movie in ages.  The last movie I saw in the theaters was probably the first Star Trek.  The new one came out and as a tribute to it I decided to update my Iphone case with a new Spock inspired case.  In my previous post I made a phone case with a photo of my family.  I love these clear iphone cases, they are so versatile and don't add too much bulk to your phone.

I used this image of Spock that I found online and cut it to the shape of my iphone case.  Slip it into the case and easy peasy a new iphone case.  I have to admit that I did not think of this idea for the case myself.  I saw someone at the mall have one and thought that I could do it to my phone too.


The geek in me.

You want to print the image onto an 8x10 and scale it to 120%.

Trace your iphone case onto the image and cut out. Position case from ear to chin.

My New Toy


I bought these off ebay and am so happy with them.  It's basically custom letter stamps.  Amazon sells a Martha Stewart version but it didn't get that great of reviews.  The one I purchased is a WT Rogers Printing kit like this one on etsy.

The letters are clear and easy to remove from each other.  The kit was barely used also!  Such a great find on ebay.  I cant't wait to get started on my crafts.  The possibilities are endless for this!

TIKI® Brand Flame & Solar Torches and TIKI® Brand Glowing Torches

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TIKI Brand® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Summer is my favorite season.    I love hosting barbecues in our backyard or just relaxing in the back with our kids.  Our house isn't very big, so during the summer the backyard is an extension of our living room.
I recently was sent a TIKI Brand Flame & Solar Torch and a TIKI Brand Glowing Table Torch to try.  I have to admit I was pretty impressed by how great these looked.  The TIKI Brand Glowing Torch looked amazing on my table, but really the wow factor was at night when you turned on the led and the ball glowed.  My daughter was mesmerized by it.
I love that there is a solar LED in the torch so it makes it dual purpose, When the torch is just in the back yard it can light up as a normal light but when we have parties we can actually light the torch.  The solar light is flickering so it looks like a natural flame.  Both products can be used with OFF! ®/BiteFighter® Torch Fuel, which is great for those bugs during the summer!
The Glowing Torch & Table Torch and the 2 in 1 Flame & Solar Torch are available at Wal-Mart and Target from $34.99 to $39.99

Above is an image of the tourch lit.  Looks so cool in the backyard.

This is the glowing torch.  It changes colors which looks pretty amazing.

This is the Solar Torch
