Altered iPad Cover

Hi everyone, it's been over a year since I've made anything for the Altered Eclectics Design Team, but now I'm back and for my first project I thought I would give my tatty old iPad cover a new look.


This is my iPad in it's altered case and below it is the old tatty case.


The first thing I did was to glue together all the bits that were falling apart.


I gave it a coat of white gesso and covered it with some lovely Imagination Crafts rice paper.


I added layers of acrylic paint, stencilling and stamping.


I used Stampendous stamps and dies for the butterflies. The butterflies were glued to the cover and I gave it a coat of matte medium, when this had dried I coloured the butterflies with Pitt pens and added some word stickers.


Thank you for dropping by, why not pop over to the Altered Eclectics blog to take a look at the lovely projects that the rest of the design team have made.
xxx Hazel.

    What an incredible makeover, Hazel - wow! I've got a cover just like that, except in dull black (I was given it along with the iPad, so I know I shouldn't grumble, but...!!). I'm very tempted to go and get messy with it now. Beautiful!

    Just saw your iPad cover over on Altered Electics whilst adding my entry and thought how good it looked. This is something I really must do . If you think your cover was tatty you should see mine!!! Lol. Thanks for the inspiration.
