  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Maybe it's obvious as far as how to do it but so that I don't miss any steps, could you please make a quick step by step 'how to' for us "less crafty"?

That is cool! I was thinking about doing that, but for some reason I keep going through Otterboxes like crazy, so I wouldn't get to enjoy it for very long :(

I had to give it a shot, decided on a Drew Estate band case. As for instructions here's how u did it.

Used my sons acid free stick glue to glue bands down to case.

Applied multiple coats of modge podge with a foam brush let each coat dry then added another found at hobby lobby

Sprayed case with spray shellac multiple coats, found this at Home Depot

That's very cool. I like seeing artsy stuff people do with cigar bands and packaging.
