I've only recently come across these on instagram and this is the first tutorial i have seen as i was curious as to how and what were used. this is so cool, i love it!
I have a lot of questions... really new to this.. so new that I havent even done a case yet Is the cream really just silicone? Do you get a more realistic whipped cream look if you buy a brand like Whipple? Do the colors HAVE to be oil paints or powder pigments? Or can you use acrylic paints as well? And can this be done on other types of phone cases? Like an Otter Box? That way youre not losing actual protection And lastly... durability.. Can it withstand being thrown into a purse and into a jacket pocket on the daily or will the cream and charms chip off? Sorry for all of the questions! Anyone's feedback would be a great help
So sorry for the late reply! 1. Yep, its just 100% silicone. I personally don't like the premade cream whip~ it doesn't come out as shiny & squishy as silicone. 2. I've learned from experience that acrylic paint doesn't mix well with the silicone. Oil paint & powder pigment is the best to use. 3. Yes, you can deco on bumper cases as well~ as long as they have a hard pc back. 4. Its not recommended that you try to shove them into tight places like pockets. A bigger purse or bag might be okay (I've done it personally & have had no issues). Buuuuut, there is still a possibility that pieces could fall off. However, they're easily reattachable 💖 Hope I was able to help! (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)
Love the tutorial. Quick tip that may help, if you put your bag in a glass and stand it up then you could just slowly pour the silicone in the bag. Scraping with your stick as you go 😉.I learned this trick with icing for baking lol.
Oh, yes! That's definitely a good tip :) its not something I do since I'm just used to scooping the whip into the bag lol. But that would definitely make it easier xD
This was so incredibly cute and helpful. Not to mention, you posted this on my birthday!!! Can't wait to start making cases. I'm probably going to expand into making decoden wall decor as well!
Hi! I've been thinking about trying out decoden and I loved this tutorial so much, thank you for making it! I was wondering what the caulking gun is for? I dont think i saw it mentioned in the tutorial besides the intro (but maybe i missed it?)
@@Foundedbyelly a caulking gun will help lots! Trying to push out the silicone without one is very hard and will definitely make your fingers hurt! I would recommend the usage of a caulking gun! It’ll make it much easier and faster!
I just made my first ever case with your tutorial! I really like the way it looks, but I should've added less white cabochons and more colorful ones, since my silicone is all white and it kind of blends together so you can't see them very well. Oh well, better luck next time. Thanks for the tutorial!
Ah, thats awesome!! 😱💕 I hope that you had fun creating your very first case! Don't worry- my first case was FAR from perfect, haha. Keep practicing & you'll get the hang of it soon ☺💖
I just use a couple of pieces of paper towel. I tear off little bits & pull them thru the tip~ I keep doing that until its completely clean ☺ I've heard other shops say that they use wet wipes, and even disposable mascara wands 💖
I have a few questions if you don’t mind! I really wanna try decoden Why do you need the respirator? Is it bad to breathe silicone? Do you make or buy your cabochons? If you buy them what are the best places or sites to buy from? If you make it what is it made of? Is there a certain age you should be before you can do decoden? Also I think you’re really good at decoden and the case is super pretty
In response to the first question, silicone is usually classed as toxic as it produces a strong odour that when breathed in excessively could cause headaches and nausea. I recommended using it in a well ventilated room( i use mine right by the window which i keep wide open) and tying something like a scarf over you nose and mouth(or use a respirator mask if you can). you can also buy silicone with no smell. Hope this helps!☺
I highly recommend using the respirator mask as silicone is toxic to breathe in. You definitely want to also make sure you're using it in a well ventilated room, and that there are no pets near your workspace (so that they don't breathe in the silicone smell). Sometimes I make them, and sometimes I use premade cabochons 💖 I make them with epoxy resin. And I buy premade cabs from multiple shops on Etsy & Instagram. You can do a search for kawaii cabochons, and you should be able to find shops that sell them ☺ I don't really know what the specific age would be to start decoden, haha. But this craft can get pricey, so you will need money. And you have to work with toxic materials like silicone & epoxy resin. So I would say at least 16-17? 😅 And thank you so, so much!! 😭💖💖💖
The age question, there really isn’t a set age as long as your careful💖 I’ve used resin since I was twelves and I am starting decoden now (I am 14) so as long as you’re precautious and know what to do, you should be in the clear 💖💖💖
Silicone does have pretty strong fumes. I highly recommend wearing a respirator mask when working with silicone and if you can, work in a well ventilated room 💖
You definitely want to work with silicone in a well ventilated room/area. If you can have your table next to the open window, that would be perfect 💖 also, I do suggest using the same mask I use as it is best for working with these materials. You want to make 100% sure that you aren't breathing in the silicone vapors ☺
Great. This case may break or something else happing and doesn't look like the first day? Is it high quality as beautiful??? Is stuff on it break or no?
Hey I’m trying to make my own decodent phone case in the future is there any ways that you could help me make the most beautiful ones and can you tell me where you got your cabachons
Aww! Thank you so much!! 🥺💕 there are many places to get clear cases, you can bulk order on aliexpress. I also get cases from fabcabcases.com & katiesdecosweets on Instagram. You can also use clear bumper cases from amazon, just make sure it says it has a "hard pc back" 🤗💖
So I wanted to get into resin art but I don’t have a space to cure my resin. I wanted to start doing decoden instead thinking it was non toxic, big mistake! You’re the first video/comment section I’ve seen so far including safety precautions so thank you 💖 does silicone need to be cured in a certain temp or could I craft on my balcony and leave it out to harden?
As long as it doesn't get too hot where you live, that should be fine! And when leaving it outside to cure, I would cover it with something to make sure bugs & other debris don't get stuck in your case while its curing 💖
Hi!!! I’d like to try these, and they look so cute!!! You did a amazing job with yours! I wondered where you get resin charms and such!? Thank you for making such a good tutorial!!!! 💖
DereDere Decoden woahh!!! That’s so cool! Your extremely talented, I wish you got more views!! Well, do you maybe have any mold recommendations or resin brand recommendations then? Sorry to bug you!!!! 💖💖💖
Awww, thank you so much 🥺💕 I've been using the brand KS Resin & I have an affiliate link and discount code in the description of the video if you'd like to give them a try ☺ as for mold shops- there are so many, haha. Here are just a few that I recommend on Instagram; spookygingersnaps.molds, velvetyeddymolds, moomsmolds, resinpopsupplies, kirakiramolds, moldheaven, mochi_molds, nekodecocraftshop, and chalasupplies. There are SO many more though 😆 but hopefully that gives you a good start 💖
DereDere Decoden oh my gosh thank you!!!! I appreciate it a lot your so sweet!!! 💖💖 I’ll make sure to check all of them out, I really appreciate all the help!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! ☺️💖
I've actually never tried that before! But if you have any extra caps from old silicone bottles, you could use that over the piping tip, then maybe wrap it in some cling wrap for extra sealing (or even just cling wrap would probably work). Then maybe rubber band the end of piping bag. I'll have to try this out myself to see if it works 😂
i know this is an old comment but! if you have any acetate/plastic transparency film and some eye pins, you can make whip charms! just pipe 2-3 stars on the film and stick an eyepin in before they dry
Thank you for this wonderful informative video. I have watched a couple videos on making decoden cases, yours is the first to recommend powder pigment or oil paint instead of acrylic. If it's no trouble would you please do a video on using powder pigment or do you have a video where you have used poser pigment in your whip? Can you add chunkier glitter to the whip,will it change the consistency? Is there a ideal size of glitter to use in the whip? How do you get a darker color, would a white caulk help make a darker color? Can you use a nail file to rough up the back of the case instead of lightly scouring it with the utility knife? Sorry for so many questions, I'm really looking forward to making my own case.
Hi! Ive been palning on making decoden cases for a while and im happy i see ur tutorial video✨1 thing im curious about is that can i use resin liquid pigment for these type too?
Hi I’ve been wanting to make this but I have a few questions do you need to bake it or smt or can I just put somewhere to dry? And for how long should I let it harden? Last question if it is not to be put in the oven or whatever should I let dry indoors or outside? Thx for the vid again❤
so i've been interested in decoden phone cases for a while and i recently ordered a custom one, but i'd love to make my own as well, so could you please let me know how much the necessary supplies typically cost, including the resin molds and everything, and what exactly we should buy when we're first starting out?
Ok which silicone one do I buy I have bought one which had this really strong vinegar smell which almost made me pass out and I also bought one which yes had a smell but not to the point where my whole house was smelling like vinegar and making me pass out btw they both were 100% silicone but some say “kitchen/bathroom or doors/windows” so which one is the one to use ?
I got it from a shop on Etsy, I don't remember what shop exactly 😭 but just any silicone mat will do 💖 it helps keep the case in place while you pipe. And thank you~! ☺💕
Hello I loved this tutorial just got a question how do u let it dry do u like dry it by using uv lamp or just leaving it for a few days without doing anything??
You can find them everywhere- Amazon, Ebay, Etsy. Or if you want to buy them in bulk you can get them on Aliexpress. You want to make sure you're looking for a "hard pc" case 💖 soft, bendy slicone cases won't work for deco 😊
Yep! I buy them in bulk~ aliexpress mostly 🤗💕 sometimes amazon if its an odd phone model or a special kind of case. You want to look for "hard pc" cases ☺️💖
At walmart i saw this brand comes in squeeze tube instead of caulking tube. Its the same product and everything. Do you buy caulking tube because its more economically beneficial then the little squeeze tube or is there another reason?
Yes, I get more out of the large tube (since I make multiple cases a week). If you're maybe just wanting to try making one case, you can definitely use the small squeeze tube 😁💖
I've never tried reusing the piping bags. But I don't think it would work very well unless you clean out the piping bag after every use. Thank you so much! ☺💖
So, my silicone keeps drying before it even hits my phone case. I never figured out what the problem was. I thought it was the amount of white silicone I was using so I eliminated that completely and it wasn't the root cause. I thought maybe it was too much glitter drying out the silicone, so I took out glitter and it was like pale liquid but then I see you also use around the amount I do, so it might not be glitter? Surprisingly, we use the same things LOL but is it possible that because I use acrylic and not oil, that that has to do with my silicone drying on the spot??
Yes, its most likely the acrylic. Its best to use oil paint and/or powder pigment to color the silicone 🤗💖 I leave links for all of the supplies that I use in the description ☺
It's bc acrylic paint is a water based paint. And water immediately activates the curing process instead of allowing the silicone to pull moisture from the air to cure.
Can you use mica powders like what one would use in resin? Alcohol inks? or resin dyes? i also have both white silicone and clear, and i tried to make a fake cupcake with the white but it didnt turn out super squishy. i only did white silicone and mica powder for color. Im going to try to do the 100% clear one tonight. your videos are super helpful! Before this i was using spackle to make whipped cream but wanted the squishy glossy look.
Yes, you can use mica powder as pigment for the whip ☺ as for alcohol ink & resin dye- I'm not so sure that they would work as I haven't tried them. You can also try using mostly clear silicone & adding a bit of the white silicone (instead of using white oil paint, or white mica powder) 😁💖
I bought 100% silicone however it is color white. Does that make a significant difference in coloring? Also I just noticed it says non-paintable. Will trying to add paint before it’s cured be an issue? The brand I got is GE advanced silicone 100% silicone.
The white silicone would still work~ most decoden artists just prefer clear as you can manage the color and opacity more ✌ some even do a mix of clear & white silicone (adding a little bit of the white into the clear as a replacement for white oil paint/pigment). Hope that helps! 🤗💖
Hi I was wondering how you made or got the iridescent training corps symbol? I noticed one of your listings on your shop also has a Survey Corps one. Great video btw and love the case 💖
Hi, I'm new to decoden. I first used the pre-made whipped cream, and then the DAISO paper clay and just recently the silicone sealant. Have you ever tried DAISO paper clay? Which is more durable? Thank you.
Hello! 💖 I haven't tried Daiso paper clay as a whip, however I am working on a video comparing pre-made whip to silicone whip. I can totally do a Daiso paper clay comparison video in the future though!
It does eventally fade, but it can take quite a while. I would keep it in a well ventilated room/space to air out the smell. The silicone is usually dry to the touch within a few hours. I let mine set out for 4-5 days to fully cure just to be safe 💖
Hello! 💖 so I've tried to figure out ways to store extra silicone, but none of the methods I've tried worked 😭 the silicone always dries up. I'm not sure if there is a way 😓
You can find them in bulk on aliexpress. I also like to get cases from fsbcabcases.com. I try to stay stocked up on all of the popular iPhone and Samsung models ☺💖
I'd love to do this but I can't make money and my mum would never buy me these supplies, they're too expensive for us at the moment. Any alternatives..? I've tried using super glue and a hot glue gun but obviously that didn't hold up.. i cant even use my phone case because its covered in super glue.
I haven't found a way to keep any extra whip to where it doesn't end up curing in the bag. I just make extra whip charms if I have any whip left over ☺️💖
Hi, I loved your tutorial! I have a question How do you deal with the smell of the silicone after it dries? Is there a certain way to neutralize the smell?
Hello! The only way is to let the smell go away on its own by letting it set for a while (it usually goes away after a week)/ I recommend having a specific area that is well ventilated where you can let the cases sit and dry~
Hi Hi! First off, I love love love your tutorial, it looks so easy to do and fun!! I am fairly new to decoden ( i was thinking of making a small tiny local business on making decoden cases). Where did you get the flat resin charms from? I've been looking everywhere and i still can't find the perfect ones ( i'm doing themes ^^) What type of pen is that, that you use to add the small rhinestones and stuff? Where can i get oil paints and powder pigments? ( don't know what powder pigments is. :( ) What is a good substitute if i can't find the products that i can use to make the creme? Is there some type of sealant i can use so the pieces won't fall off or is it good as is because i tend to put my phone in my back pocket or in my work apron. How did you attach the lace and pearls on the case before you added the creme? Did you use a glue gun or some type of glue? Can i use any phone case for this like does it have to be a clear phone case if it's an IPHONE 7 and up? Do it work for tablet cases as well? What is a chaulking gun and how do i use it? ( it sounds dangerous) Sorry if i asked alot of questions, i just need to know exactly on how to do it, so i can make the perfect, neat, and clean phone cases for customers. I am looking forward to hearing your response. ^^
Thank you so much ☺💖 -Most of the resin pieces I make myself. But I do like to get cute pieces from a shop on Etsy called Happy Kawaii Supplies. -I have a rhinestone tutorial on my channel where I show how I add the rhinestones & the supplies that I use are linked in the description 💕 -For the paint & powder pigment, all of the supplies that I use are linked in the description of the video 😁 -The silicone is the sealant for the pieces, you don't need anything else. However, I don't recommend squeezing a decoden case into tight pockets or bags. -A caulking gun is what you use to squeeze the silicone out of the silicone bottle. -It doesn't have to be a clear case, but it does have to be a "hard pc (plastic" case. The silicone won't adhere onto silicone (soft/bendable) cases.
@@DereDereDecoden eeeek!!! thank you thank you!!!!! im majorly excited!!! thank you thank you.. i can't wait to get started!!!! oh um cant i get pieces of amazon as well?
If you're meaning anime gachapon figures and/or acrylic charms, you can get them in bulk on aliexpress 🤗 you can also find anime silicone molds on etsy and make them with epoxy resin 💕
Also, for just cutesy cabs- you can just search "kawaii cabochons" on etsy and find lots of cute pieces 💖 happykawaiisupplies.com is also one of my go to's for cute supplies 😘
Ok so dumb question but I'm basically doing an art project using the decoden whip and wanted to know what exactly the respirator mask was for, was it due to the silicone? Also can decoden whip be applied to other surfaces that arent phone cases😅
If you're using silicone as decoden whip, then yes~ you do need to wear the respirator mask as it keeps you from breathing in the silicone vapors (which can be bad for you lol) ☺ and yep! You can do other items, it doesn't have to be just phone cases 💖
@@DereDereDecoden Ok thanks for replying wasn't really sure😅. On a side note though does it have to be a respirator mask or can it be a face mask or another type?
Of course! No problem 😘💕 and yes, the specific respirator mask that I use is needed as a regular mask doesn't filter out the vapors. If you can still smell thru it, then it doesn't help at all 😆
i love you video!!! i tried to make decoden cream. It is soft until i mixed. but i became hard after i put it to bag.(i used silicon, acrylic paint white, blue) your whip is squeeze very soft!! What's wrong with me??
I'm so glad that you enjoy the video~! 💖 that could be caused by the acrylic paint. I recommend oil paints and powder pigment only. Hopefully that fixes your problem 🤗💕
DereDere Decoden in this video i saw that you used the oil paint but what is the white product that you used to mix with the purple to make the color ?
Oh i see now it was a white oil paint as well, is their any particular reason you used different name brands or is it just because you found a bigger size for it?
Yep, it is white oil paint 💖 I just ran out of the smaller tube of white (since I use it a lot lol), so I figured getting a larger tube of white oil paint would be best 😆💕
It is hard to find plastic cases here as well. A lot of decoden shops purchase the hard pc cases on aliexpress ☺ I also like to get them from fabcabcases.com. Unfortunately bendy silicone cases won't work 🥺
I've never tried or seen any other shops use watercolor. But I assume it won't work as its water based like acrylic paint~ I would stick to oil paint & powder pigment 💖
Hiii!! I have a few questions since i'm planning to try this out! Is it really necessary to wear a mask, if it is- then can a medical mask be fine? What kind of silicone brand do you suggest? Also, is silicone sealant like the 'dowsil' brand work? Feedback would be very very helpful!
Yes, it is as the silicone gives off chemical vapors when working with it. A regular medical mask doesn't filter out the vapors. If you can smell thru it, then it doesn't work. I highly suggest the respirator mask that I use as it does filter the vapors ☺ The only brand that I have used is GE~ so I can't say if any other brand would be good. But you can definitely try it if thats the only brand you can get where you are 😁
I basically take a paper towel, tear off little bits, and pull the little bits thru the tip until its clean~ I've heard some use baby wipes with that method. And some use disposable mascara wands to clean it out 🤗💕
@@fangbellefromsg Oh!! I understand now, sorry 😂 I have actually never thought about doing masks or headphones, but I'm going to look into it for sure! That would be super interesting! Thank you so much for the suggestion~ ☺💖
Yes, it has to be 100% silicone (unless you purchase the already made cream whip). And yes, if you're using silicone, a caulking gun is the only way to pump the silicone out of the tube ☺💖
I’ve been trying to figure out how to make the clear glitter deco cream and thank u so much for showing what you use!!!
I've only recently come across these on instagram and this is the first tutorial i have seen as i was curious as to how and what were used. this is so cool, i love it!
Aww, thats awesome~!! 💖 I hope you're enjoying the world of decoden so far, haha ☺💕

DereDere Decoden hi, can i ask how to reattach charms? i had name beads and some of them came off :(
Alaina I know I’m not the same person but just wanted to help!! 🥺 maybe you can just hot glue or super glue them IF it’s okay for you
DereDere Decoden is the pre made cream whip safer to use if you don’t have a respirator?
Yes, it is~ I actually have a video planned reviewing some premade whip 🤗💖
The colour was just perfect and beautiful! Your video is so helpful. I’m now brave enough to buy supplies and try.

@@DereDereDecoden thanks so much for your quick reply :)
I have a few questions if you don’t mind! I really wanna try decoden
Why do you need the respirator? Is it bad to breathe silicone?
Do you make or buy your cabochons? If you buy them what are the best places or sites to buy from? If you make it what is it made of?
Is there a certain age you should be before you can do decoden?
Also I think you’re really good at decoden and the case is super pretty

Silicone does have pretty strong fumes. I highly recommend wearing a respirator mask when working with silicone and if you can, work in a well ventilated room 💖
This looks so cute, but how can silicon stick without any glue? Is silicon a type of glue?❤
I have a question.
Where do I find clear cases in bulk. I haven't been able to find them and I want to get into this deco den world!
I usually get them from fabcabcases.com ☺💕 but you can also find them on aliexpress. You'll want to search for "hard pc cases" 💖
Great video! Thanks for the help! I can't wait to get started doing decoden stuff myself! 💕
Glad I could help~! I hope you have fun creating cases! 🤗💕
Can I do this in my room on my desk with the window cracked open? Also can I use a different type of mask or can I only use that type of mask?
Savage Dragon I was planning on getting a cheap small desk just for decoden projects so I don't use the same desk that I use for my schoolwork

Awww, thank you so much 🥺💕 I've been using the brand KS Resin & I have an affiliate link and discount code in the description of the video if you'd like to give them a try ☺ as for mold shops- there are so many, haha. Here are just a few that I recommend on Instagram; spookygingersnaps.molds, velvetyeddymolds, moomsmolds, resinpopsupplies, kirakiramolds, moldheaven, mochi_molds, nekodecocraftshop, and chalasupplies. There are SO many more though 😆 but hopefully that gives you a good start 💖
DereDere Decoden oh my gosh thank you!!!! I appreciate it a lot your so sweet!!! 💖💖 I’ll make sure to check all of them out, I really appreciate all the help!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! ☺️💖
Of course! Glad I could help 😘💕💕💕
If there’s leftover whip, can I keep it and use it next time ?
I've actually never tried that before! But if you have any extra caps from old silicone bottles, you could use that over the piping tip, then maybe wrap it in some cling wrap for extra sealing (or even just cling wrap would probably work). Then maybe rubber band the end of piping bag. I'll have to try this out myself to see if it works 😂
i know this is an old comment but! if you have any acetate/plastic transparency film and some eye pins, you can make whip charms! just pipe 2-3 stars on the film and stick an eyepin in before they dry
Thank you for this wonderful informative video. I have watched a couple videos on making decoden cases, yours is the first to recommend powder pigment or oil paint instead of acrylic. If it's no trouble would you please do a video on using powder pigment or do you have a video where you have used poser pigment in your whip? Can you add chunkier glitter to the whip,will it change the consistency? Is there a ideal size of glitter to use in the whip? How do you get a darker color, would a white caulk help make a darker color? Can you use a nail file to rough up the back of the case instead of lightly scouring it with the utility knife? Sorry for so many questions, I'm really looking forward to making my own case.
Hi! Ive been palning on making decoden cases for a while and im happy i see ur tutorial video✨1 thing im curious about is that can i use resin liquid pigment for these type too?
What kind of case is needed in order for silicone to stick?
It has to be a hard plastic case. Or if its a bumper case, it has to have a hard pc back ☺💖
DereDere Decoden thanks 💖
Great video, how long does it take to “cure” / solidify / safe for handling ? Thanks in advance
3-7days .. best is 5/7th day
Hi I’ve been wanting to make this but I have a few questions do you need to bake it or smt or can I just put somewhere to dry? And for how long should I let it harden? Last question if it is not to be put in the oven or whatever should I let dry indoors or outside? Thx for the vid again❤
so i've been interested in decoden phone cases for a while and i recently ordered a custom one, but i'd love to make my own as well, so could you please let me know how much the necessary supplies typically cost, including the resin molds and everything, and what exactly we should buy when we're first starting out?
Ok which silicone one do I buy I have bought one which had this really strong vinegar smell which almost made me pass out and I also bought one which yes had a smell but not to the point where my whole house was smelling like vinegar and making me pass out btw they both were 100% silicone but some say “kitchen/bathroom or doors/windows” so which one is the one to use ?
Hey!! Your phone case is so pretty! I just wanted to know what Piping tip you used?
Thank you! ☺💖 I use the Wilton #21 piping tip~ all of the materials that I use are linked in the description of the video 😘
This video is everything! Also love the case
Thank you so much, Monique~!! (ฅωฅ*)💖💖💖
🌥OMG! thank you so so much for this tutorial so helpful and informative!!🤩🍡
You're so welcome~!! 💕 I'm really glad that my tutorial was helpful 🤗💖💖💖
You're very welcome~! 💖 glad my tutorial was helpful 🤗💕
where did you get your mat? is there a certain type of mat i should use? the case is so adorable by the way!
I got it from a shop on Etsy, I don't remember what shop exactly 😭 but just any silicone mat will do 💖 it helps keep the case in place while you pipe. And thank you~! ☺💕
DereDere Decoden thank you for replying!
Hiii... Please tell me exactly what is the type of silicone you used
this really satisfy, thanks!
If we need mask, then shouldn't we work outside? Could you let me know what the mask purpose is for then?? THANKS!~
Hello I loved this tutorial just got a question how do u let it dry do u like dry it by using uv lamp or just leaving it for a few days without doing anything??
I just leave it to air dry~ I like to give it at least 5 days to dry before using the case 🥰
@@DereDereDecoden thank u
Than you for the video! I don't have silicone, can I use pva glue instead? Like resin but softer?
You're very welcome! 💖 unfortunately pva glue will not work to replace the silicone 😓
@@DereDereDecoden Oh, alright. I already got the silicone! Thank you, dear!
@@camilalima002 I apologize for the late reply 😭 I'm glad that you were able to get silicone 💖💖💖
@@camilalima002 what kind of silicone did you buy?
@@brittanys505 just the normal one? You can ask in a store and they will show the normal generic one for everything
Question: can I use white silicone instead of clear silicone?
Yep! You can totally use the white silicone instead ☺ you just won't be able to create translucent whip.
This is making it a lot more difficult than it needs to be
How so? I did my best to lay it out as simply as possible
@@DereDereDecodenI was talking about your technique not the video
i'm dying to try this! where do you get the blank phone cases?
You can find them everywhere- Amazon, Ebay, Etsy. Or if you want to buy them in bulk you can get them on Aliexpress. You want to make sure you're looking for a "hard pc" case 💖 soft, bendy slicone cases won't work for deco 😊
Hi! Thank you so much for your video!! One question, how long do to let a case sit for it to fully dry?
3-7days 😊
How do you get all of the different cases do you just buy them all in a bulk or how do you do it?
Yep! I buy them in bulk~ aliexpress mostly 🤗💕 sometimes amazon if its an odd phone model or a special kind of case. You want to look for "hard pc" cases ☺️💖
At walmart i saw this brand comes in squeeze tube instead of caulking tube. Its the same product and everything. Do you buy caulking tube because its more economically beneficial then the little squeeze tube or is there another reason?
Yes, I get more out of the large tube (since I make multiple cases a week). If you're maybe just wanting to try making one case, you can definitely use the small squeeze tube 😁💖
@@DereDereDecoden ok cool. My man got the little tube for me and just wanted to make sure i can use it beforw driving 30min back to walmart
Hi! Just asking, do you still need a mask if your using the cream glue and not silicone? Thankyou ❤😊
Hello! 💖 if you're using the cream glue whip, you probably don't need a mask 🤗
@@DereDereDecoden thankyou ❤🤗
Hi! In my country is sooo hard to.fine 100% silicone, can i ask you something?
It is possible reuse the pipin bags? Thank you!!! I love your art💜
I've never tried reusing the piping bags. But I don't think it would work very well unless you clean out the piping bag after every use. Thank you so much! ☺💖
So, my silicone keeps drying before it even hits my phone case. I never figured out what the problem was. I thought it was the amount of white silicone I was using so I eliminated that completely and it wasn't the root cause. I thought maybe it was too much glitter drying out the silicone, so I took out glitter and it was like pale liquid but then I see you also use around the amount I do, so it might not be glitter? Surprisingly, we use the same things LOL but is it possible that because I use acrylic and not oil, that that has to do with my silicone drying on the spot??
Yes, its most likely the acrylic. Its best to use oil paint and/or powder pigment to color the silicone 🤗💖 I leave links for all of the supplies that I use in the description ☺
It's bc acrylic paint is a water based paint. And water immediately activates the curing process instead of allowing the silicone to pull moisture from the air to cure.
How do you make the custom buttons for your phone cases?
I love the design. but how to dry a decoden? Is it thru sunlight or UV light?
Neither~ you let the case airdry for a few days 🤗💖
AHH MIKASA I LOVE THIS
Thank you so much! 🤗💖💖💖
How long does it take for it to completly dry? So far officaly have 1 customer.
I would say 5 days is safe :) and congrats!!
I have a question, will sanding the case work instead of scoring it?
Yep! I haven't tried it, but I've seen other decoden artists sand the cases instead of scoring them. You just have to sand it really well 😆
@@DereDereDecoden Ooh ok tysm!
Can you use mica powders like what one would use in resin? Alcohol inks? or resin dyes?
i also have both white silicone and clear, and i tried to make a fake cupcake with the white but it didnt turn out super squishy. i only did white silicone and mica powder for color. Im going to try to do the 100% clear one tonight. your videos are super helpful! Before this i was using spackle to make whipped cream but wanted the squishy glossy look.
Yes, you can use mica powder as pigment for the whip ☺ as for alcohol ink & resin dye- I'm not so sure that they would work as I haven't tried them.
You can also try using mostly clear silicone & adding a bit of the white silicone (instead of using white oil paint, or white mica powder) 😁💖
I bought 100% silicone however it is color white. Does that make a significant difference in coloring? Also I just noticed it says non-paintable. Will trying to add paint before it’s cured be an issue? The brand I got is GE advanced silicone 100% silicone.
Disregard my inquiry about the non-paintable aspect. 😅 But I do wonder if it’s okay that I purchased white instead of clear
The white silicone would still work~ most decoden artists just prefer clear as you can manage the color and opacity more ✌ some even do a mix of clear & white silicone (adding a little bit of the white into the clear as a replacement for white oil paint/pigment). Hope that helps! 🤗💖
Hi I was wondering how you made or got the iridescent training corps symbol? I noticed one of your listings on your shop also has a Survey Corps one. Great video btw and love the case 💖
Also what glue or item do you use to place the lace onto the case
Hi, I'm new to decoden. I first used the pre-made whipped cream, and then the DAISO paper clay and just recently the silicone sealant. Have you ever tried DAISO paper clay? Which is more durable? Thank you.
Hello! 💖 I haven't tried Daiso paper clay as a whip, however I am working on a video comparing pre-made whip to silicone whip. I can totally do a Daiso paper clay comparison video in the future though!
@@DereDereDecoden Wow, thanks for replying. I'd love to share my creations with you as I want to ask for feedback on how I can improve more. :)
Of course~!! I'd love to see what you create 💕 feel free to send me a message on Instagram anytime 🤗💖
@@DereDereDecoden Yey! Just followed you on Instagram. By the way, does the stingy smell go away? How many hours does it usually dry?
It does eventally fade, but it can take quite a while. I would keep it in a well ventilated room/space to air out the smell. The silicone is usually dry to the touch within a few hours. I let mine set out for 4-5 days to fully cure just to be safe 💖
Hi! I have a quick question. How can you store it for later use?
Hello! 💖 so I've tried to figure out ways to store extra silicone, but none of the methods I've tried worked 😭 the silicone always dries up. I'm not sure if there is a way 😓
Awww okayy thank you for answering!
how to save the leftover silicon that not to used ?
Hi
Where do u get your phone cases & how do u know what size to get or do u just get multiple sizes? Ty 😊
You can find them in bulk on aliexpress. I also like to get cases from fsbcabcases.com. I try to stay stocked up on all of the popular iPhone and Samsung models ☺💖
@@DereDereDecoden ty so much for your help ❤️🌈
Of course!! Oops, I misspelled the website lol its fabcabcases.com 😆
I'd love to do this but I can't make money and my mum would never buy me these supplies, they're too expensive for us at the moment. Any alternatives..? I've tried using super glue and a hot glue gun but obviously that didn't hold up.. i cant even use my phone case because its covered in super glue.
If you do a search on Etsy for "decoden cream" you can find lots of stores selling pre-made decoden whip 🤗💖
@@DereDereDecoden thank you!!
Glad I can help! ☺💕
Hye.. Want to ask something.. This one.. Do we have to bake in the oven? I've seen people bake in the oven. 😅
No, when using silicone you don't bake it ☺️ you let it air dry for a few days 💕
Okay wait, I am so confused as to what you need the mask for? Silicone doesn't have a smell or give off vapors?
The silicone that I use does have a smell & on the back it warns about breathing in the toxic vapors.
For how long can you keep the bag with silicone in it, to use it again later?
I haven't found a way to keep any extra whip to where it doesn't end up curing in the bag. I just make extra whip charms if I have any whip left over ☺️💖
@@DereDereDecoden oh okay. Thanks for the tip! :)
Hi, I loved your tutorial! I have a question
How do you deal with the smell of the silicone after it dries? Is there a certain way to neutralize the smell?
Hello! The only way is to let the smell go away on its own by letting it set for a while (it usually goes away after a week)/ I recommend having a specific area that is well ventilated where you can let the cases sit and dry~
How long do these usually take to dry?
I find that its usually dry to the touch after a few hours. But you'll want to give it 2-3 days to fully dry before you start to use your case 💖
@@DereDereDecoden hi! i know this is a very very late question but.. where do i put them to dry? anywhere??
@@hearrtsv2wsomewhere well ventilated!! but probably not outside so it doesn’t collect dust
@@audreydarcovich643 like in my drawer?? sorry if im wrong 😭
Hi Hi! First off, I love love love your tutorial, it looks so easy to do and fun!! I am fairly new to decoden ( i was thinking of making a small tiny local business on making decoden cases).
Where did you get the flat resin charms from? I've been looking everywhere and i still can't find the perfect ones ( i'm doing themes ^^)
What type of pen is that, that you use to add the small rhinestones and stuff?
Where can i get oil paints and powder pigments? ( don't know what powder pigments is. :( )
What is a good substitute if i can't find the products that i can use to make the creme?
Is there some type of sealant i can use so the pieces won't fall off or is it good as is because i tend to put my phone in my back pocket or in my work apron.
How did you attach the lace and pearls on the case before you added the creme? Did you use a glue gun or some type of glue?
Can i use any phone case for this like does it have to be a clear phone case if it's an IPHONE 7 and up? Do it work for tablet cases as well?
What is a chaulking gun and how do i use it? ( it sounds dangerous)
Sorry if i asked alot of questions, i just need to know exactly on how to do it, so i can make the perfect, neat, and clean phone cases for customers. I am looking forward to hearing your response. ^^
Thank you so much ☺💖
-Most of the resin pieces I make myself. But I do like to get cute pieces from a shop on Etsy called Happy Kawaii Supplies.
-I have a rhinestone tutorial on my channel where I show how I add the rhinestones & the supplies that I use are linked in the description 💕
-For the paint & powder pigment, all of the supplies that I use are linked in the description of the video 😁
-The silicone is the sealant for the pieces, you don't need anything else. However, I don't recommend squeezing a decoden case into tight pockets or bags.
-A caulking gun is what you use to squeeze the silicone out of the silicone bottle.
-It doesn't have to be a clear case, but it does have to be a "hard pc (plastic" case. The silicone won't adhere onto silicone (soft/bendable) cases.
@@DereDereDecoden eeeek!!! thank you thank you!!!!! im majorly excited!!! thank you thank you.. i can't wait to get started!!!! oh um cant i get pieces of amazon as well?
Hi there! I realise this is an older video but i was wondering where you got your rubber mat from?
Hello! 💖 I honestly don't remember where I got the pink mat from 😭 I'm so sorry~ 🥺
@@DereDereDecoden that's alright
Any silicone mat will do 🤗💕 you can even find them in the cooking/baking section at the store 💖
Hi! the respirator mask is for the silicone ?
Yes, for the silicone and also if you work with resin to make your own resin pieces ☺💖
Where is a good place to buy charms?
You can search on Etsy 💕 one specific shop I love is Happy Kawaii Supplies 🤗💖 another place is aliexpress ☺️
Where does one buy cutesey/anime cabochons? Or how do you make them at home?
If you're meaning anime gachapon figures and/or acrylic charms, you can get them in bulk on aliexpress 🤗 you can also find anime silicone molds on etsy and make them with epoxy resin 💕
Also, for just cutesy cabs- you can just search "kawaii cabochons" on etsy and find lots of cute pieces 💖 happykawaiisupplies.com is also one of my go to's for cute supplies 😘
Thank you so much! You are so helpful and so excited to try this!
You're so welcome!! ☺️💖💖💖
Ok so dumb question but I'm basically doing an art project using the decoden whip and wanted to know what exactly the respirator mask was for, was it due to the silicone? Also can decoden whip be applied to other surfaces that arent phone cases😅
If you're using silicone as decoden whip, then yes~ you do need to wear the respirator mask as it keeps you from breathing in the silicone vapors (which can be bad for you lol) ☺ and yep! You can do other items, it doesn't have to be just phone cases 💖
@@DereDereDecoden Ok thanks for replying wasn't really sure😅. On a side note though does it have to be a respirator mask or can it be a face mask or another type?
Of course! No problem 😘💕 and yes, the specific respirator mask that I use is needed as a regular mask doesn't filter out the vapors. If you can still smell thru it, then it doesn't help at all 😆
@@DereDereDecoden Ok good to know thanks again😂
Yep! No problem~! 😆💖💖💖
What's that pencil-like object called that you use to pick up the rhinestones?
Its a rhinestone picker 🤗💕
@@DereDereDecoden Ohh. Then it is hard for me to find it. Thanks!
You should be able to search "rhinestone picker" on Amazon and find it ☺️💖
@@DereDereDecoden I'll try =)
i love you video!!!
i tried to make decoden cream. It is soft until i mixed. but i became hard after i put it to bag.(i used silicon, acrylic paint white, blue)
your whip is squeeze very soft!! What's wrong with me??
I'm so glad that you enjoy the video~! 💖 that could be caused by the acrylic paint. I recommend oil paints and powder pigment only. Hopefully that fixes your problem 🤗💕
DereDere Decoden in this video i saw that you used the oil paint but what is the white product that you used to mix with the purple to make the color ?
Oh i see now it was a white oil paint as well, is their any particular reason you used different name brands or is it just because you found a bigger size for it?
Yep, it is white oil paint 💖 I just ran out of the smaller tube of white (since I use it a lot lol), so I figured getting a larger tube of white oil paint would be best 😆💕
Gracias por el tutorial, me servirá mucho 💞
You're welcome~! 🤗💖
I like it , very nice 😍🤩❤
Hi it is hard to find a plastic case in our stores
Is it okay if i used the silicone ones?
It is hard to find plastic cases here as well. A lot of decoden shops purchase the hard pc cases on aliexpress ☺ I also like to get them from fabcabcases.com. Unfortunately bendy silicone cases won't work 🥺
@@DereDereDecoden thank you so much for your fast reply ty verry much 💜😭🥺
Of course! ☺💖💖💖
do watercolor paints work??? like in the squeeze tube
I've never tried or seen any other shops use watercolor. But I assume it won't work as its water based like acrylic paint~ I would stick to oil paint & powder pigment 💖
You don't need a respirator for silicone!!
Hiii!! I have a few questions since i'm planning to try this out!
Is it really necessary to wear a mask, if it is- then can a medical mask be fine?
What kind of silicone brand do you suggest?
Also, is silicone sealant like the 'dowsil' brand work?
Feedback would be very very helpful!
Yes, it is as the silicone gives off chemical vapors when working with it. A regular medical mask doesn't filter out the vapors. If you can smell thru it, then it doesn't work. I highly suggest the respirator mask that I use as it does filter the vapors ☺
The only brand that I have used is GE~ so I can't say if any other brand would be good. But you can definitely try it if thats the only brand you can get where you are 😁
@@DereDereDecoden Thank you so much! I'll be sure to put this in mine in the future when working with silicone!
What size tip do you use usually ?? 💕
Karinnutt she said tip #21 :)
daniela !!! Thanks 😭💖
Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner 😭 but yes, Wilton #21 💕 I have links to all of the tools I use in the description 😘💖💖💖
hiiii i wanna ask, how long do we have to wait until the silicone is dry to start using them?
Hello! 💕 I like to wait at least 5 days just to be extra safe 🤗💖
do powder pigment for resin its work? is it the same?
Thank u 💖
Yes, powder pigment that is used for resin works for coloring silicone 🤗💖
How much time take for drying this ❤
I like to give the case at least 5 days to dry before using it
How long do you have to wait for until it’s completely dry?
I like to give them at least 4 to 5 days to completely dry ☺💖
@@DereDereDecoden Thank you so much for your replies!
If i use premade whip do i still need a mask?
If the premade whip is clay whip it won't have fumes like the silicone whip does, so there shouldn't be a need to wear a respirator mask ☺
@@DereDereDecoden Kay tysm!
How do you clean the piping tip after use?
I basically take a paper towel, tear off little bits, and pull the little bits thru the tip until its clean~ I've heard some use baby wipes with that method. And some use disposable mascara wands to clean it out 🤗💕
what do you do with the leftover decoden?
I make extra whip charms with the leftover whip ☺💖
Plz make a tutorial with decoden respirator mask or headphones
Hiya! 💖 Sorry, but I'm not quite sure what you mean? Are you asking for me to make a tutorial while I'm talking with the respirator mask on? (^_^;)

Hi i have one problem.can i yous silicen phone case.repply plzz🙏
Hello! 💖 unfortunately it won't work with a bendy silicone phone case. It must be a "hard pc" or hard plastic case 💕
Question do you need a caulking gun?
Yes, it has to be 100% silicone (unless you purchase the already made cream whip). And yes, if you're using silicone, a caulking gun is the only way to pump the silicone out of the tube ☺💖
DereDere Decoden thank you!
Also does it have to be 100% silicone ?
