Alright lovers! Today I tried myself to make some clay deco parts for the first time. The problem with deco is it can be a little hard to start with as you have to do alot of research to figure out how to start! Hopefully I can help you with that!
First off, theirs more then one type of deco. The word deco applies for things covered in rhinestones and things covered in icing and sweets. Deco-den means cell phone decoration (denwa is phone). It's also worth noting that Deco is huge in Japan and they even have places to go get your cell phone deco-ed the way you want. It is rather pricy though!
Today I'm going to cover the basics of how to make a deco peice with sweets and icing.
The Decoden community on livejournal is probly the best resource for English deco-den makers. One extremly helpful user made a tutorial on the basic's of sweets deco here. It saves me alot of explaning!
So besides the handmade clay sweets, plastic parts are a big part of decoing.
The best places to get parts are on Etsy. If you search the word cabochons you should get alot of results. It's worth noting that they make even smaller cabochons that look the same for nail art so check the measurements to know what your getting!
I also wanted to cover how to make some other sweets I found in Deco mags! Sorry for whoever scanned them, a friend sent me them so I don't know who you are to give you credit!
