In this article, we'll show you how to make your own phone case with a Cricut machine and share some creative ideas to inspire you.

Materials you will need

Before starting, you need to gather all the materials necessary to create the phone case wholesale. The following are the essential tools you will need:

1. A Cricut cutting machine - this is used to cut the design you plan to use on your phone case.

2. A blank phone case - this could be a clear, white or black phone case, depending on your preference.

3. Cricut vinyl or adhesive paper - you'll need this for the design you plan to cut using the Cricut machine.

4. Transfer tape - this is used to transfer the vinyl from the cutting mat to the phone case.

5. Weeder tool and scraper tool - these two tools are used to weed out designs from the vinyl after cutting.

Creating your design

Once you have all the necessary materials, it's time to create your design. You can create your own design using Cricut's Design Space software, or you can use a pre-made design. If you're using a pre-made design, ensure that it's compatible with the Cricut machine you're using.

Once you've decided on the design, you'll need to resize it to fit the phone case. You can do this by setting the size of the design in the Design Space software. Remember to leave some space around the design to make sure it fits the phone case.

Cutting your design

Now that your design is ready, it's time to cut it using the Cricut machine. To do this, you'll need to load the cutting mat with either the vinyl or adhesive paper you're using for the design. Ensure you're using the correct setting for the material you're cutting. The Cricut machine comes with pre-set settings for different materials, so make sure you're using the correct one.

Once you've set up the material, press the cut button and wait for the machine to cut out your design. After cutting, use the weeder tool to weed out all the unnecessary vinyl or adhesive paper around your design.

Applying your design

Now that you've cut your design, it's time to apply it to the phone case wholesale. First, clean the surface of the phone case with a microfiber cloth to remove any dirt or oil. Then, use transfer tape to transfer the vinyl or adhesive paper from the cutting mat to the phone case.

Carefully place the transfer tape over the design, ensuring it's straight and aligned with the phone case. Then, use the scraper tool to press down on the transfer tape, securing the design to the phone case.

Remove the transfer tape from the phone case, leaving just the design on the case. If you're using adhesive paper, you're done. But if you're using vinyl, make sure to press down on the design again with the scraper tool to ensure it's firmly attached to the phone case wholesale.
