You might put a lot of effort into making sure that your clothes are fashionable, and your hair and makeup are on point, but what about other items you use regularly?

While items such as phones and vape pens might have overwhelmingly practical uses, you can still put some of your personality on them to turn them into fun accessories. Here’s how you can create stylish accessories with the following three items.

• Vape pen

Vape pens are increasingly popular as an alternative to smoking tobacco, as they allow you to ingest nicotine without the additional chemicals present in tobacco products.

Due to this, they are an effective aid to help you quit smoking. As you’ll probably have your vape pen with you most of the time, especially in social situations, how can you personalize it to your taste?

One way is to buy a vape pen in a design you like—they are available in a variety of colors and designs, and you are sure to find one that appeals to you. Another way is to buy vape juice in your favorite flavor. From apple to tobacco, pina colada to mountain dew, you are sure to find a vape flavor you like.

• Face mask

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues with no sign of a let-up, chances are that its effects will be felt long into the future. One effect is the compulsory wearing of face masks in many places to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Although your primary concern when wearing a face mask is that it helps to protect yourself and others from the virus, you might nevertheless feel that it spoils your whole look. If so, how can you make sure that you remain stylish as well as protected?

You can buy non-medical face masks online, on sites such as Etsy, made in a variety of colors and designs to suit your taste. Or, if you are crafty, you can even have a go at making your own. Doing this enables you to tailor your face mask exactly to your style, but make sure that you use the right fabric to maximize your protection.

• Smartphones

Smartphones such as iPhones act as accessories in themselves, requiring little personalization as status symbols. However, as a piece of equipment that is often seen, you might want to put your own touch on your phone.

Cell phone cases and covers are available in numerous designs; for example, you can buy a case that will cover just the back of your cell phone, or one that protects the screen as well (similar to a Kindle case).

They are available in several sizes to fit every phone model, ensuring that you are sure to find a phone case to suit you and your phone. You could also use a personalized ring tone; for instance, Zedge is an app that lets you choose a ring tone from hundreds of sound bites.
