Step by step on how to make your own cell phone skins. This method can be applied to the PSP, Nintendo DS or anything else you want to skin!

You can choose to do the resizing part any time you wish, really. (as long as it's before you print it off)
What I do is open my template (which is a non-resized prnt screen of the template from uniqueskins.com, seen in the video), and find the percentage resized with the same method in the video. I undo the resizing and cropping of the front cover and I keep that percentage in mind. I continue with the skin designing, and then at the end I resize the whole image with the percentage I got before.

As well as this, in the video after I select my skin (just before I add the design), I go to selections - modify - expand - 1pixel. This makes a big difference to the result.

I'm not sure where to buy vinyl sticker paper, I bought mine off of eBay. I assume you can buy it in stationary/office/paper stores, though.

Any questions, please post them in the comments and I'll get back to you, thanks for watching!
