Hey fam!! My name/links might be different than what I said in the video and that's because after four amazing years of decoden cases & three years on KZread, I've decided to pursue art in new ways 🥰 The description is updated to reflect the accurate accounts and links. Thanks for your support!
this is the most transparent youtube tutorial i’ve ever came across! thankyou so much for your amazing tips!

Aw thank you so much it means a lot 😭❤️
thank you for explaining everything thoroughly, making that amazon list of everything you need was amazing too, I had no idea where to start. you are so great!!
Love this tutorial and your energy! I’m getting a new iPhone and I really want to decoden my own case for it. Also wondering if you have that link for the video that taught you, I can’t see it linked below in the description. Not that this vid doesn’t give me everything I need to know, I just like to watch a variety of tutorials when learning how to do something new!
I love your personality! I had to subscribe

Video idea! Use different materials for your next phone case! Aka different case, piping tip, colors! I think it would be really cool to see you go out of your comfort zone
you're so cool! I've been practically binge watching ur videos 😭im thinking of getting into decoden myself and u've really given me some great tips :DD and ur right! Naruto is actually named after the little white and red narutomaki that's often in ramen :3

If you want a heavy duty sand paper you can also use a metal rasp. I also @ times use a small dermal tool with a standing drum. Other suggestion would be to use an ice pick instead of scissors, consider using a ruler instead of a paint bottle to push the silicone down to the tip. You're a great teacher but talk a little too fast my my old ears. I try to make notes as you're instructing but again a bit too fast. 🏃 🏃 🏃 Thanks so much I have bought a kit but have yet to crack it open. Last thing that I remembered was icing color, it is expensive but the colors are intense & you only need a drop. I used icing color for play dough when I made huge batch for my daughter's preschool class. But you are so right about glitter fine grain otherwise it looks like playground gravel. Thanks Again 👍 🙋 👍
This is super helpful. I'm just starting out and I keep wondering what phone case to use because mine is flexible but wouldn't stick as much.

How do you keep your tube of silicone from drying out before the next use?
How do you store the leftovers so it doesn't dry out?
I had a question that can we use caulk instead of silicone ??
Hii! I wanted to know how do get rid of the vinegary smell of this silicone 😊
Thanks for the video!!! Just started today and it's so fun! How do you clean the pipe ends? I can't seem to get all the silicone off!

omg I just saw this! Sorry! I usually push paper towels thru it until it's completely clean and the paper towel comes out dry🤷🏻♀️ it sucks and it's definitely the worst part of decoden😂
I would recommend doing a little pipe at the beginning just to get the star looking nice where all three colours are coming out.

Hy! Love your video.. hope to see more.. can we just use normal transparent clear case cover silicone tpu? And how many days normally to wait it to dry properly?
@AlexaJuncajArt
Жыл бұрын
Thank you! and clear cases are great but if they're the flexible ones like silicone or tpu the decoden won't stick for a long time! It might be fine for a few days but over time it will peel off so I just never use those ones anymore 🤷🏻♀️

Hey I would like ask something about the silicone. I mentioned that mixing something with white yields a lighter result, but what about mixing with clear? Would it result in the silicone being the same color as the paint? Asking just to be sure.
@leporinedivine

to me it just gives off a jelly effect - like sort of translucent but it does take whatever color you mix it with!
Have you ever thought of using croc charms for a case? How long do you have once you start the phone case to finish it before the silicone starts to dry?

No! But that's a good idea!! I've used small action figures, keychains, Christmas ornaments, Disney Doorables, Mini Brands, anything that fits really lol And shoot I forgot to say it in the video! They usually take 24 hours (wish) to dry. They may be dry to the touch after a few hours but I wouldn't trust them in the mail or anything yet until they've at least sat for one day because sometimes the inside of the puffs can still be wet :O

I have been making them, but my silicone hasn’t been drying… I used less paint on it today and going to see if that was the issue. But can you give me some tips?
I don’t know if this is a weird question to ask but are these cases easy to clean if they ever get dirty? I have a silicone phone case currently that stains so easily and is hard to fix so I’m hoping that these cases won’t be the same
Do you store your glue or no ?
I have Micah powder with colour pigments in it…would that be a good alternative and avoid changing the drying time even more, or does that cause it’s own set of issue that you are aware of?

@AlexaJuncajArt

I'm sorry I just saw this!! I have definitely had that happen a couple of times and it's usually because of the environment I'm in. I've heard that silicone dries faster when it's hot and humid for some reason. One time, I had to make a laptop case, it kept hardening half way through. So, I left my windows open for a while (it was winter) and I started from scratch, it didn't harden as fast. It just happens sometimes unfortunately... You're probably doing everything right
Is it possible to store the leftover silicone in a sealed bag or container to use it later?

Aliexpress or any site that you can buy wholesale cabochons is best.... buying from china, they sell the cheapest of everything you can think of because that's where everything is manufactured. Most etsy sellers buy from wholesalers in china and resell of course at highly marked up prices. I've seen this even with jewelry they claim is "handmade" but i've seen on aliexpress😂. But americans buy everything...they don't care if it is expensive or time is money. How do you package these items or other smaller items? What kind of mailer used and packaging material? Did you pay for someone to create a logo for you and did you have logo packaging made? Thank you for your tutorial.

not sure if you'll see this but im curious how you clean your piping tips. Cleaning them is always a pain for me no matter what I do with them. Does tip size matter to make them easier to clean?
What about pearl colors? What about adding mica pigments
