DIY | Japanese Decoden Phone Case

Decoden can be basically applied to anything. If you remember my posts from here and here, I already tried it on different materials and surfaces.

One fine day my brain decided to go back to the creative trail and this happened. As much as I think things like this doesn't really suits my age and personality - I'm a lady type not cray-cray or kawaii (lady lah sangat, lol), I would say, never stop yourself from being creative. Also, I've seen people around my age making an online business selling decoden phone cases and they are always so expensive (> RM100). Man, I should consider to open one, too. ;P

DIY | Decoden Jar Lids

A DIY experiment using different type of acrylic sealant. So I figured out diff brands will give diff finish. The recent one that I bought from Mr DIY doesn't crack after 2 days of drying period and it has silicon-looked alike.

DIY | How I decorate empty jars using silicon caulk

Remember when I bought the wrong medium for whip clay during my trip to ikea? It supposed to be silicone caulking in a tube, but I picked up acrylic sealant by mistake.

I don't want to waste it, so I decided to try it out as a whip cream.

Unlike the silicone sealant, which has a rubbery touch, acrylic sealant dries hard and it has a matte finish instead of glossy. I find it easy to work with this base since it is soft and manageable. But it still feels less soft if to compare to silicone caulk. I just used it straight from the tube and took a toothpick & pointed cotton buds to create the whipped cream look-alike.

Jars - Don't throw away your spaghetti sauce jars. Clean it and remove the label from the bottle.

Deco - Charms & sticker beads. It is difficult to find online sites that are selling cabochon charms in Malaysia. -_- I only know 1 site, http://www.beading.my/ . Or if you prefer to buy from a store, I bought mine in Daiso where you can get a set of 5 charms with RM5.

It was my first attempt working with this base and idk how not to make it crack. The whipped cream looked okay soon after I whipped it but then it cracked after I left for overnight. Acrylic base tends to break out easily when it dries, so I decided to seal my whipped cream base with mod podge glue that I bought from the same craft store.

I still think that they turned out quite good and I want to make more soon. I would want to try painting my base with some arcylic paints in my next deco-den project. \o/

DIY | Decoden & Resin Bottle Caps

I have never made a Decoden creation before, but I finally did! (A quick and impromtu d.i.y)

Messy, I know. :( Can't do much since I had a hard time squeezing out silicon from the tube, and I didn't have fancy charms to decorate on). The silicon was a bit fast-drying, so it didn't help in giving the wiping cream effect. *Well, I guess we don't have DAP Silicon here in Malaysia.

But, anyway, it was fun and e a s y diy project to do. You can find the silicon tube from hardware shops nearby, like mine, I bought it from Giant, Shah Alam. And all you needs are some colourful rhinestones, gems, glitters, charms, chains, etc.
