DIY Marbleized Laptop
Supplies:
- white marble contact paper
- x-acto knife
- laptop
- microfiber cleaning cloth
- hairdryer
- First clean your laptop with the microfiber cleaning cloth.
- Lay down your piece of contact paper over top the laptop with out removing the backing just yet. Cut a square that is relatively the same size as the top of your laptop. Leave an inch all the way around.
- Peel off your backing and slowly lay it on your computer going from top to bottom or left to right to avoid bubbles. If you lay it straight down, bubble city fail.
- There may be some rogue no matter what, so try to get them out. You can do so by poking a teeny hole with your X-acto knife, if needed.
- Head to your bathroom and get your blow dryer ready. You are gonna want to pull on the edges while blow drying. The laptop edges of a mac are rounded, which makes it hard to lay flat. The blow dryer does the trick. Don't make it too hot or hold it for too long, 5 seconds on medium heat should be sufficient.
- Lay your computer flat and cut off the excess contact paper with your x-acto knife. Go slow and stay steady. Once you get the motion, you will find the straight line sweet spot.
- The last step is to cut out the Apple symbol. Do this with the laptop open so the light goes on making it easier to trace. Again, go slow and be patient. You don't want to rush through this and mess things up.
