iphone 4 cases with deco design

author Posted by: kirin on date Aug 18th, 2010 | filed Filed under: My Kawaii

I don’t even have my iphone. But I happened to find some cute iphone 4 cases and I picked up some for selling at FlutterScape.

In Japan, new cell phones are always released to the market and a-few-months old phones are disappearing from cell phone stores. Every phone had different shape and design and so it was impossible to change covers from old one to the new one, from one brand to another, and that’s why we had to decorate cell phones by ourselves if we wanted to have decoden. Compared with that, iphone is great. It’s the same shape anywhere. It’s a lot more eco-firendly compared with ours. We have too many different designed new phones with unnecessary functions added from the beginning. Thanks to iphone, we can easily purchase cute iphone covers like these and even decoden can be done so easily!!

I want my iphone…but if I had that money, I’d choose to travel somewhere. icon biggrin iphone 4 cases with deco design

deco trend now in Japan

author Posted by: kirin on date May 28th, 2010 | filed Filed under: What's New?

It was around 10 years ago that deco boom started. As represened by decoden, decorating on the cell phone is still popular now. In 2009, “Uni deco” or decorating Uniqlo clothing became popular, which has been familiar if you read my blog. It was introduced in Tokyo Kawaii TV, as “Uni-kakushi” and I actually saw the booth by deco-clo at Japan Hobby Show 2010 the other day. I’m planning to make a deco T-shirt, and will be sharing my experience in this blog later. icon smile deco trend now in Japan

The video focuses on the Japan Hobby Show that I also visited this year and introduces some interesting devices and goods that are invented at following companies.

Small parts for crafting, phone decoration, clay sweets and etc.

★craft goods and parts★
ABC craft
address: 3-29-1 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 160-8455
phone: 03-5919-1511
open: 11:00am- 9:00pm

ABC craft Small parts for crafting, phone decoration, clay sweets and etc. If you like to do some craft works, ABC craft is one of the places for you to get things such as accessory chains and connecting parts, deco parts (for decoden etc.), rhinestones, clay sweets, knitting yarm and tools, and more. They also have a few collections of craft books such as step-by-step of how to make clay sweets (should be more difficult than Decotti) or how to make decoden with bling-bling rhinestones or with cute clay decorations.

I’m not good at craft work or fancy work because I’m kind of clumsy with my fingers, and first off, I have no time to learn them now. But if I have more free time in the future, I’d love to try from sewing machine to make modified clothing of my own as well as accessories and other small items to make my life more kawaii!

Not until I went to the event that was taken place at the corner of ABC craft, did I know this store. At that time, I was obsessed with browsing small deco parts and many of tiny cute little things that were sold there. I’ve been away from such craft shop in my life, all because of my clumsiness and harsh experiences from sewing classes at school days. However, since my first Decotti experience opened my mind, I started to challenge crafting little by little. When I tried my first decoden (decoration over cell phone), I could make it in a satisfactory level, which made me more interested in buying a little bit of deco parts.

The other day, I bought some rhinestones and clay sweets for the decoration using the filler left over from Decotti. I made my original deco bottle as a sugar container! (The post with my video will be coming soon!)

If you are looking for small parts for your crafting in Tokyo, Yuzawaya and Okadaya are other options, not to mention Tokyu Hands and LOFT. If you are just looking for craft books, you can check out these stores but you can have a lot more books at big-scaled book stores such as Kinokuniya, Junkudo, Maruzen or Sanseido.

Enjoy your craft works! icon smile Small parts for crafting, phone decoration, clay sweets and etc.
