I hope you can help me. I’ve decided to take on this project and this is easily the biggest thing I’ve ever done for a Halloween costume. Everything has been going “relatively” smoothly until I layed my cut plexiglass down on to the outlined template you provided. My plexiglass is about 46.6″ long, which is what is required to fit in to the 48″ frame between the 1/4 round edges. When I piece together the outlined template, the phone outline is about 42.6″ in length. Long story short, my glass is 4″ longer than the template. When I think about, the template is only 4 pages tall, each page is 11″ for a maximum of 44″ and since there is a margin around the phone, that brings it to about 42″ max. Am I doing something wrong? When I look at your pictures, it seems that your glass is fitting the template perfectly… where in my process did I end up with +/- 4″?

I would sincerely appreciate any help or advice that you could provide to me. I’m pretty far in to this wonderful costume, I would hate to have to turn back.

Thanks in advance for your time!

This is the best instructional site for the iPhone costome – thank you so much!!! I am trying to follow the steps to make this costume for my son, but having trouble with getting and printing the color images – do you have another link to the 24 images? Or suggestion for how to print each on letter size paper?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. It was fun to make, but wished I had planned a bit better with measurements. I also used 2 sets of battery operated christmas lights, but I did not take them apart like you did. I simply taped them with blk tape along the sides of the plexi glass and strung them below each app. I then covered the whole back of the plexiglass with poster board to conceal the lights. The light was harsh on a few apps – but I was just glad that it worked.

Whats next?

Profite vite de la notoriété pour bien le dealer sur ebay, à moins bien sur que tu n’envisages de le remettre l’an prochain … En attendant je clique sur tous les liens sponsorisés qui tombent sous ma souris (faut amortir tout ce travail) !
Big hugs 2 all of U
