Tumblr media
Last winter I made this Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy phone case and I’ve been waiting for today to share it!

I started with this rough plan. I kinda based it off the one in the tv show but mainly pulled from my own imagination.

Best part! The interchangeable screen! Right now I have four screens from the tv show. Pinterest has a lot of high quality images of them. I have a few more saved that I’ll eventually size and print. My favorite is the babel fish.
You may also notice the bar on the right moves up and down. It doesn’t do so very elegantly but it was a last minute thought that I really like.

And here’s backstage! I have lots of layers for a more realistic effect. It was my first time doing a paper craft like this so maybe I’ll be able to make an even better one in the future!
Happy towel day!

IDK WHO NEEDS THIS
But here's how to make diy pins with a bottle cap!
☆ You will need: A bottle cap, a soda tab, and a safety pin first
☆ Then: Pliers, paint (optional), and clear nail polish later

Put the safety pin through the soda tab like this, make sure the part of the safety pin that opens is facing up

Place the soda tab with safety pin in the bottle cap, double check to make sure the opening part of the safety pin is facing up!
Then use pliers to crunch the sides of the bottle cap down on the soda tab
This will keep the tab and safety pin in place!

Then you can paint whatever you want onto the bottle cap or keep it plain
If you paint it you might want to sand the surface first or cut it up lightly to make the paint stick better
After you're done painting you can use clear nail polish as a top coat!
