BB cushion decoden (feat. Etude House’s kit & Daiso decoden)

IMG_7230Decoden, where do I begin. ย I have seen my friend decorate her photo case decoden style, but I never knew what it was called. ย Now I do LOL. ย Decoden originates from Japan, like all things kaiwaiiiiii, no surprise there. ย I personally have never tried it, so let’s give it a shot. ย The opportunity presented itself when Etude House sent us their BB cushion decoden kit in their June pink bird box, so I said why not! ย I’m personally not a super duper girly girl, but I’ll give it a shot.

IMG_7244The end result^ เญงส• โ—• o โ—• ส”เญจ. ย See how I did it, click read more~

IMG_7231Inside the decoden kit is the “cream” glue. This is silicone caulking which you can find in Home depot or any hardware stores. ย They also come with two tips, star tip and a open star tip. ย If you don’t know what these shapes they make, here is a photo~ ย You can definitely use your own tips (These are wilton tips for baking) to create your own shapes and designs. ย You’d just have to put it in a piping bag. ย I prefer a piping bag since I get more control but whatever, I’ll just squeeze it out of the little tube. ย Easier clean up job hehe.

IMG_7232The kit also comes with these cute… things LOL. ย What do you call these. ย I didn’t end up using these together since I thought it didn’t really go well with each other, but I did use the macaron naturally.

IMG_7233For those that missed out on getting your hands on the Etude House kit, they also have decoden materials in Daiso for $2 each. ย I think I got ripped off since you can get more bang for your buck on ebay but I didn’t feel like waiting a month for it.

IMG_7235Daiso had the “cream” in white and pink, “strawberry” and “chocolate” sauce…

IMG_7236Sprinkles and cream shaped like shells.

IMG_7237If you want your product to look even more realistic, you can always get yourself some polymer clay and create your own charms. ย I would do that, but I’m lazy LOL. ย These will do fine for this time.

IMG_7240First, arrange how you want your design to look. ย I wanted to keep my simple, just like a berry and cream cake with the pretty macaron as the center piece.

IMG_7241I didn’t really plan ahead, I just started squeezing and made a design. ย When I did the center, I didn’t like how it turned out so I just scraped it off and put the cream back into the tube and tried again. ย I noticed the cream from the Etude House kit was a lot more stiff then the Daiso one. ย I liked the Etude House one more since you can see the details a lot more, even after it dried. ย The Daiso one was a lot more watery, and it runs a bit.

IMG_7242I used the Etude House cream for the sun like swirls and Daiso’s cream ย to fill in the cracks and to border the circumference.

IMG_7244Carefully place your design onto the cream, and your done! ย I later added a cookie and chocolate since I thought it was a bit too plain. I like the end result. ย Just let the silicone/ cream dry overnight and it is ready to be carried around. So kaiwaiiiiiiiii~ย ส• หต ฬฟ เฑช ฬฟ หต ส”

IMG_7246This honestly might be the most unhelpful post I have ever made LOL. ย I can’t really explain how to do this since I found it pretty simple. ย If you need more help, I’d suggest searching up deocoden youtube videos :). ย Make sure you don’t take your sweet time when applying the cream since it does dry. ย I think about 20 mins or so to fully finish applying the cream and after when I went to place the charms, the cream was already slightly drying. ย So make sure you work fast! ย The cream does dry down into this rubbery texture which I find amusing to poke at. ๐Ÿ˜›

Have you guys tried decoden? ย Are you going to decoden any of your cases? I’m actually super excited to carry my BB cushion around just to confuse people into thinking this is edible keke. ย Comment down below and let me know your thoughts.

    I love how that looks – very cute! But not so practical if you need to carry it around in your purse I would think… ? ๐Ÿ˜‰

      Haha it is definitely not for practically. I will just keep it on my vanity for the cuteness factor

      I didn’t know it was called decoder until I looked it up either so your not alone. I get super into arts and crafts, once I start, there is no end. And I’m glad to hear the post was helpful :).
