Ursula5977 recently shared some fabulous photos of my new favorite geeky crafts project: Her decorated Macbook. She says:

Out of boredom and lack of a hobby, I took the liberty of rhinestoning my beloved MacBook! It's almost to the point of tacky, but I absolutely love it. Instead of paying upwards of $1,400 to have it rhinestoned for me, I personalized it myself.

    I once did my blackberry in crystals and man was that a pain in the rear. A couple times I dropped my phone and the crystals went flying. It cost me about $50-60 to have three different colors cover the entire blackberry. It got A LOT of attention - but I don't think I will do that trend again when I get another blackberry.

    It's not tacky at all, very girly and elegant instead Eye-wink

    That's fantastic! I'd love to decorate the laptop in this house, but it doesn't belong to me. Sad

    i love it!
    the only reason i wouldn't do it to mine is because i'm sure i'd mess it up in no time.
