Putting a little deco sticker on clothes is easy and it’s popular in Japan now. Unlike decoden or sweets deco crafting, it doesn’t require high skills. I’d like to share my first deco clothing experience video that I took while I was playing with it the other day.
There are basically 2 ways of deco clothing.
1) Use iron-on type of deco sheet just like above.
2) Use glue for clothing and adhere rhinestones one by one.
As I wanted to experience both, I bought both of above. I will see if the sticker is durable against wash and then I will add pink small rhinestones one by one inside the star later.
It just made me worry because the rhinestones on the edge were not sticky very well. I think I was spending a lot more time than 20-30 seconds. (I also cut off some parts of the video to be edited no longer than 10 minutes.) I suspect it was because of the thickness of my pants.
But I’m relieved I’m finished finally with the bling-bling star deco on the back pocket of the pants!
Basically I’m not good at crafting but since my first experience of making DECOTTI, I kinda find it fun to craft something by myself. Yet, I cannot make something from scratch. I have to rely on kits or easy tool to make something cute by myself.
So what’s new this time? It’s my first experience of decoden! As I filmed myself making decoden, you’ll see this is not mori style as well-known as what decoden is like. I use my cell phone as a camera, too, and so too much overloaded decorations just unable it to be used as a camera. That’s why I chose this water-proof sticker type of decoration with Japanese Makie art pattern, combination of rhinestones so that my decoden won’t look too simple.
Please watch the video, see how I made it, and let me know what you think.
I’m quite satisfied with the outcome, nevertheless I’m kinda clumsy at things like this requring skills to pick up small pieces… Also, as a result, simple deco was OK to me. I really liked it.
Finally I filmed myself making DECOTTI. It’s been a long long time until finally I reached this point since I wrote the article about DECOTTI last time. But I’m so glad I can finally share my experience of making DECOTTI like this! The video runs long so I cut & edited it at several points. :p
To be honest, I’m not dexterous and so I cannot knit, sew, craft small things very well. So I was a little anxious if I might end up with ugly macaroons when I started this. The filler smelled weird and the tweezers were not easy to use to me, but I am quite satisfied with what I’ve made.
I received from some people who are interested in purchasing DECOTTI, so I actually tried to deal with DECOTTI at my ebay account. (I had no experience at ebay, so I had to start from opening my account.) But the thing is, I found out ebay was not my thing. I don’t want to get myself involved in price competition under several regulations set by ebay. But in case anyone who reads this post might want one for oneself, please contact me from the contact form so that I will personally arrange the chance for you to deal with me, just like among friends.I don’t have intention to run my online shop or auction, so if you look for cheaper one, I think you should try somewhere else. But I could enclose English translated cautions along with the item from my courtesy because there were some written in Japanese on the package, and on the manual.
