{D.I.Y.} Deco-den: Cookie and Cream Style Phone Case




❤❤❤
DECO-DEN

I'm sure you know someone else or many others who have 'your phone'.
Decorating your's can make it more personal to you and more original.

In Japan, decorating personal items is a very popular trend;
called 'Deco-den'; short for decorated denwa(telephone).
Despite the name,
'Deco-den' actually stands for anything decorated;
music players, portable game consoles, mirrors, trinkets..
anything that can be 'deco-ed out'.
[kodakumi and bling headphones]

[scan from Deco Venus; a magazine which showcases and teaches you how to decorate]

❤❤❤
For phones, there are a few decor styles;
sticker decor, rhinestone decor,
3d decor and a more recently popular style-
sweets decor!

❤❤❤
So which one to choose??
Your phone can determine which style is best and most practical.
-If you have a touch screen phone; it best to have a 'flatter' design.
Such as sticker sheet decor or rhinestone decor.
-like my samsung touch screen phone here.
NB// I bought sticker sheets for my ds and phone.
Cut to the right size and shape.. and stick on.
Simple, quick, widely available and cheap.

-If you have a flip phone; you can have anything^^
You can go for an all around rhinestone design,
or 3d design for the top.
Sweet decor can be the most original; as you can make
your own sweets and creams from molds and silicon piping.

❤❤❤
I bought a Lollipop phone recently; so of course I had to decorate it~~
and of course it had to be Sweet themed^^

❤❤❤
PROJECT: DECO-DEN 01
Cookie & Cream Style- Phone Case
I got a clear plastic case from Gmarket.
If your phone is available worldwide;
then you will most likely be able to find a cover on Ebay.

The decorations are from FancyPocket; shop based in Singapore.
They have a huge range and the prices are reasonable.
They sell pre-decored items too.
Another shop to consider; Sophie & Toffee; also based in SG.
The prices are better and has been recommended by Erynn.
Think I'll try this shop next time^^


❤❤❤
FINISHED LOOK

  3. i will def use this when I get my new phone(LG imprint) it's so small though am worried I won't find a case for it . How much did all this cost you? I went on fancy pocket and easily spent over 100$ on supplies. And i know it seems weird but i wondered how it feels to hold a phone thats all deco'ed out? like is it spikey or uncomfortable?
