I love carbon. A testament to the high specs, the unique pattern creates a sense of presence, and the way the pattern shines when exposed to light is also cool.
Serious carbon is still expensive, but “carbon-like” sheets and films are available almost everywhere these days. In addition to sundries and daily necessities shops, it is a period where you can find it in ¥100-¥ shops and ¥300-¥ shops. Of course, it’s “tone”, so it’s just the atmosphere, but even so, when the things around me take on the appearance of carbon, my mood changes. You can get the excitement of getting another item.
Therefore, in order to achieve how much the impression changes in this article, I put a sheet on the back of the smartphone, which is the most familiar item. The carbon sheet “AP Carbon Film” from “Astro Products” was used. A store specializing in tools, DIY, and maintenance supplies, the store has been accelerating its openings across the country in recent years.
It’s too big to stick on the back of your smartphone, thoughThis product is not just a print, but has a three-dimensional finish, making it possible to create a more luxurious feel.
Also, at this size,I picked it up because it can also be used as a backdrop for product photography.. For those who display on flea market apps or take photos of their property and upload to SNS, it’s a worthwhile item to have. of course,It is also recommended to stick it on a car hood, which is standard use, or on furniture..

The preparation is very simple. A cutter for cutting the sheet, a design cutter for cutting small parts, a B4 size cutting mat (A4 is also acceptable), and a ruler of about 20 cm. This can also be had for 100 yen, so if you prepare it, you can work efficiently.
The four processes are as follows.
Work ① Cut the sheet slightly larger than the smartphone to the size you want to paste
Work ② Paste the cut sheet on the smartphone
Work ③ Trace the camera lens and sensor with a ballpoint pen
Step 4: Cut out the lens and sensor using the design cutter
⑤ complete
I wonder if it has changed to a high quality appearance for 10 minutes of work. A printed leaflet will inevitably look cheap, but thanks to the three-dimensional effect, it doesn’t look cheap.
Since the above explanation has broken a lot of details, I will post the detailed method in the gallery below. If you are wondering how to cut out the camera part, refer to it.

Applies to tablets, personal computers, digital cameras, etc.
In the method presented above, the sheet is attached first, but for those who think that the cutter may damage the lens and the sensor, cut the lens and the sensor with the cutter design before attaching the sheet, it would be better to cut it out with
By the way, in the case of a smartphone with a curved body, the level of difficulty is higher, but in that case, using a hair dryer to heat the sheet softens the sheet material and makes it easier to qualify. However, smartphones are susceptible to heat, so we recommend applying heat to the sheet itself before connecting it to the main unit. Remove the heated sheet bit by bit, remove the air, and then cut the lens and sensor parts to create a beautiful finish.
Just one more note. Since the carbon pattern has a “weave”, it will be a more beautiful finish if you carefully determine the horizontal and vertical when cutting.
Here, we used a carbon-like black sheet, but you can freely choose your favorite color and pattern based on this technique, and if you become an advanced user, you can enjoy layering, punching and layering logos . Also, if you acquire wrap technology, you can apply it to tablets, personal computers, digital cameras, etc.
