How to look PIMP by dying your Blackberry Trackball!

It’s Dani here from www.makeaquick.com! It was Egor’s birthday yesterday, so Patrick and I decided to steal his Blackberry BOLD and make some suprise modifications! Ever want to match your trackball to your keyboard or casing? Check out our steps on how to dye your very own trackball for under $5!

STEP 1: Go to Walmart and purchase fabric dye of any colour, just make sure the brand is “RIT”

STEP 2: Carefully take apart the Blackberry and remove the trackball and it’s casing. Youtube it because this can be very difficult, and you can easily break the phone.

STEP3: Remove the trackball casing from the trackball, be careful not to lose any pieces!

STEP4: Squeeze the fabric dye into a bowl, the dye comes off ceramic easy. Warm up the dye in the microwave for 10 - 20 seconds. dip the ball into the dye, cover it entirely and leave it for a couple hours.

STEP5: take the ball out of the dye with tweezers, dry it until no excess dye comes off.

STEP6: put the trackball back in its casing, and put the phone back together.

STEP7: That’s it! Check out the black trackball we did as well!
