When brainstorming how to make the bean phone case a reality we debated how to get the bean shapes into the case - should we pour silicone around beans to make the case itself have a bean texture? Or do we embed the beans themselves into the case?
We went with the embedded beans :)
This meant we had to paint the beans to look more "beany," so we did that by putting alcohol ink in a spray bottle and spraying dried white beans

We used the same alcohol ink to paint the white backing we'd be gluing the beans to.

Then of course we placed the beans...

There you go! Looks pretty realistic to me! They're just missing the sauce, but that's where the resin comes in... -Katelyn
