How to make an insert to draw on

1. Open the insert maker and choose your phone.
2. Pick a light design (try the pale minimal ones) or a coloring page as your guide, or use the on-screen Draw tool. The cut line and camera window are printed on the sheet, so you can also trace them onto your own paper.
3. Download the PDF and print at 100%. Draw on the printed sheet, or on your own paper using the printed outline.
4. Cut out the outline and the camera window, then slide it behind the case.

Tips

• Pencil, fineliner or gel pen are safest. Alcohol markers and highlighters can bleed through thin paper, so use heavier paper. See the paper guide.
• Let it dry before you slide it in, so ink does not smear on the phone.
• Draw big. Small details get lost behind the case. Use thick lines.
• Want to keep a drawing? Photograph it flat in daylight, upload it in the photo insert maker and print as many copies as you like.
