PATTERN
Begin by carefully peeling off the top and bottom stickers. The place a small piece of tape across the small opening to keep it permanently shut, then decide what kind of face you would like to make. I wanted a fun colored “Mustache Case”, so I went with a bright yellow face like a happy face and white “earphones”. (the Earphones on the holder double as an add on strap too!) You could make any type of face, add hair, make a clown, your imagine is the limit!
