Customized wifi device skin

I lost my wifi device, huhu. I bought a new one then, my new device is colored white. Hm... Easy to get dirty...

I've been using it for a while now and I got lots of stains already. So I decided to have a protector, much like skins in mobile phones.

I searched the net to look for printable clear vinyl sticker. I found some in olx.com.ph. Then I decided to make the skin. 

Materials you'll need:
Laptop or desktop
Printer
Image editing software (I used photoshop)
Printable clear vinyl sticker
Cutter
Scissors

1. I measured the dimensions of my wifi device. This is 3.75 by 2.3 inches. The distance from the top edge to the screen is 2 cm, the distance from side to the screen is 0.5 inch.

2. With your image editing software, create your image. Of course I used my favorite Sanrio Character: KUROMI!!!!
3. Then print in into the clear vinyl sticker.

4. Clean the surface of your device. I find that make up remover removes stain easily.
5. Cut out your prints
6. Stick them to your device carefully. 
Front
Back
7. Enjoy your new wifi skin!

Insights about this project:
1. Make-up removers are great! They not only remove make-up but also other stains in your projects. Amazing!
2. There's a discrepancy over the measurements of photoshop & microsoft word....
