Additional decoration with Decotti cream

author Posted by: kirin on date Dec 21st, 2009 | filed Filed under: My Kawaii

I decorated the top of a jam bottle with Decotti cream that is left over from my Decotti sets.  I’ve filmed myself how I did that (very simple though) and I’d love to share it with you here!  icon biggrin Additional decoration with Decotti cream If you ever try Decotti, I’m sure you will have a lot more cream than you need for Decotti. Although Decotti doesn’t recommend we should use it on any objects other than Decotti because it’s not adhesive enough, I think it’s a waste if we just throw it away after Decotti.

From what I’ve experienced, I think it’s better you prepare an object you want to decorate on as well as additional rhinestones (Swarovski or crystal materials that you also can use for nail decorations will be OK) or clay sweets to make it look nicer. And do that right after Decotti. Even if you cover the mouth of the cream, it does get dry as time passes! If you make use of the Decotti cream wisely, I think you can enjoy more than what you paid for. Decotti itself looks expensive, but if you make some extra decorations with the left-over cream, you’ll find it was paid off. icon smile Additional decoration with Decotti cream Well, that’s my thought. It’s all up to you!

In the video it was out of focus, but below is the picture of what I made.

Oh…the photo is not good either…LOL Unlike macaroons, it has height and so it makes shadow.

How about the other one?

I bought a star shaped polystyrene foam for about 130yen at ABC craft the other day. icon smile Additional decoration with Decotti cream
When I made this after the jam bottle, the cream was about to dry up! The mouth was totally stuck with dried cream, and so I had to cut the other part of the pouch to let the cream out. That’s why the cream here is not shaped in 6 stars or 8 stars, as the diaphram worked only if it’s set on the mouth of the cream pouch. I kinda put many decorations over the cream to hide the ugly shape of whip cream that I directly put out from the cream pouch. Some decorations are from my 30cm Christmas tree. :p I’ve finally used up 2 pouches of Decotti cream that is left over from my making Decotti macaroons and cupcakes.

    Wow! Kirin-san, these are lovely! And your video is excellent.Thank you! I've often picked up Decotti and thought "Hmm, but what to use it for?" I think I'll definitely get some next time!

    How long would you say it takes the Decotti to fully dry / set?

  2. Amanda Said,

    One day, I will go to Japan and I will go CRAZY buying decotti stuff!! It's so cute! :) It was good to watch your tutorial, I understand how to use it now. Maybe I'll try doing it with real cream on a cake or something. :D

    I love your Christmas star. :) I did a video the other day where I decorated my Christmas tree at home. Do you want to see? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivFSnDqaMyQ There are subtitles but you probably don't need them.

    that is cute! I found out my cream is actually Mousse-chan clay cream. Have you tried this before? It is a mousse clay so it will be very light I hear :) I want to try it on some sweets I will make from paperclay~

    Decorating things to make them sweeter makes everything feel more happy in everyday life♥

    Wow! Kirin san! Ogenki desu ka? Sashiburi.

    This work is pretty cute. I love it. When did you purchase it? I haven’t been to your website for like foreeevaaahhh..and I missed lots of your entry blog.

    Haha, it look quite yummy too :)

    Wow! Kirin san..ogenki? Sashiburi…

    Hi Kirin!
    it's so cute!!!I whish I could find such decorations here!
    In Kera I've seen Decotti-like hair accessories, if I'll ever make them, I'll show you the pictures for sure!!!

  8. kirin Said,

    I think it'll take 2 or 3 days for the Decotti to dry completely. Don't use a hair dryer or something. Dry it naturally by placing on a stable place. I usually leave it on a shelf or desk and do not touch it about a week, because it'll be 100% dry and there's no worry that I might screw it. :)

  10. kirin Said,

    I've never tried "Mousse-chan" yet. But I think you can enjoy it, too.
    "Decorating things to…" I agree with you! Actually any kawaii items make our life happier. When we are tired from everyday work, human relationship and stress of pressure, kawaii things make us feel relieved and relaxed. That's why I think kawaii means a lot to adults, at least in Japan.

  11. kirin Said,

    Thank you, nanda! :D
    It's been a while. Thanks for your comment.

  12. kirin Said,

    Oh, Riko! Do you prefer my calling you Mary? I recognize you either Mary or Riko. If you don't mind, I keep calling you Riko. Whichever is fine! :)

  13. kirin Said,

    I cannot visit your Youtube channel or other people's blogs for a long time, just like you. I am busy producing a new entry constantly to this blog, and I do miss lot of stuff all the time! >_< I wish I had more time…

  14. kirin Said,

    Thank you Ilaria. ^ ^
    I've finally used up the Decotti cream…ãµï½žã€ã“れã§ã²ã¨å®‰å¿ƒã€‚クリームを無駄ã«ã—ãŸããªã‹ã£ãŸã‹ã‚‰ã€‚ã§ã‚‚ãªã‹ãªã‹ã“れを作る時間もãªãã¦ã­ã€‚クリームã¯å…¨éƒ¨ä¹¾ã„ã¦å›ºã¾ã‚‹å¯¸å‰ã ã£ãŸã‚ˆãƒ¼ã€‚@_@;

    Oh…too much of Japanese? But I know your Japanese is very good! hehehe…

  15. Sparklewolfie Said,

    kawaii items make normal things into dreamy things :)
    I love that when I am in Taiwan, even "normal" everyday items will have cute motifs on them! Even the showerhead is Winnie the Pooh at my grandparents house :) I wish America could realize this…

    I'm so tired of waiting and looking for decorations that I think I'm gonna do it anyway!!

  18. kirin Said,

    Oh, sorry for that. :p I had a bit long interval between last time and this time, so the cream was almost dried up! The best way not to waste the cream is to plan what you make and prepare what you need before you open your Decotti box. And use up the cream at a time! That's the best, I believe. :D

  19. kirin Said,

    Thank you for your comment. ^ ^ I was in a hurry, I had to use up the cream before it got dried completely. So…I jumped on the Christmas star. My mind was just obsessed with making use of the cream. (LOL)

  20. Troo Said,

    Ah, super! Thank you so much :)
