Do you dislike all the wallpapers that originally came with your cell phone? This article will tell you how to make and use custom wallpapers that you can make yourself, that you'll definitely adore.

Steps

  1. 1
    Find some pictures. Run a quick search on the Internet with some keywords of things you are interested in. This should bring up a whole bunch of photos containing your favourite things. If you like more than one thing, run several searches.
  2. 2
    Pick some photos. Now that you've found hundreds of photos, you will need to pick some to use. It's recommended that you pick about 10-15 photos. That way, you'll have enough to choose from but not so many that you'll get confused with what you have.
