How to Personalize your Phone Accessories with Engraving Pen
Your phone, your style—down to the last detail. If you’re looking for a fun and easy way to add a personal touch to your phone accessories, an engraving pen might be your new favorite tool.
1 - Choose Your Surface
The first step is deciding which accessory you want to personalize. Popular choices include phone cases, laptop covers, wireless charger pads, or even notebook covers. It’s important to make sure the surface is smooth, clean, and suitable for engraving.
Materials like plastic, silicone, leather, wood, or aluminum usually work best. If the item has a glossy finish, consider lightly sanding it first (if appropriate) to help the engraving pen grip better. Before starting, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or oils.
2 - Pick Your Design
Now it’s time to get creative. Decide on a design that reflects your style—this could be your initials, a favorite quote, a minimalist shape, or even a doodle. If you’re not confident drawing freehand, no worries! Resparked offers ready-to-use stencils and templates that you can place over your surface to trace your design with accuracy. You can also sketch your design lightly with a pencil as a guide.
Remember: start simple. Clean lines and small details are easier to control when you're just getting started.
3 - Start Engraving
With your design ready, grab your Resparked's engraving pen and let the magic begin. Hold the pen like a regular writing tool and start tracing your design slowly. Apply gentle, even pressure—there’s no need to press hard. If your pen has speed settings, start at a low-to-medium speed until you feel comfortable. Move in steady strokes, and don’t rush. Pause between sections if needed to rest your hand or clean off dust. This is your moment to add personality to your accessory, so take your time and enjoy the process.
4 - Clean the Surface
Once the engraving is complete, your surface may have small bits of dust or shavings from the material. Use a soft brush or microfiber cloth to gently sweep them away. If the material allows, a slightly damp cloth can help remove fine residue. Cleaning the surface not only makes your creation shine, but also helps you see if there are any touch-ups you’d like to make.
5 - Show Off Your Work
Your accessory is now truly one of a kind! Take a few photos in good lighting to capture the detail of your work—natural light works best. You can share your custom creation on social media, gift it to someone special, or just enjoy having something that reflects your unique style. Don’t forget to tag Resparked if you’re sharing online—they love seeing what the community creates!
