I needed a new case for my phone so last night I got to work and make this case. I LOVE IT! I glued a mirror on the back so I wont have to dig through my purse to touch up my makeup. I should have made a "How To" video with this but the lighting was terrible so the video would have come out pretty dark. Anyways I hope you like my latest creation!
This Alex Plus DAP (Acrylic, Latex, Caulk Plus, Silicone) Caulk is my new favorite frosting product. I got two forms; one comes out of the caulk gun and the other is in a can. The one in the can is a less thick, and the can is sort of like a whip cream can. I will use both of these in my next project.
These mineral powders are SO AMAZING. They make your skin glow so beautifully. I did not really like the case so I wanted to deco them. Chanel was my inspiration for these cases.
I bought these mineral powders from Costco for $20. The kit comes with a powder, blush, and some eye shadows. The kit also comes with some A-M-A-Z-I-N-G brushes.
These are a MUST HAVE for detailed projects. If you want to get the real look of frosting you have to invest in a set of these. Don't use 100% silicone with the pastry tips because you wont be able to wash the silicone out when you are done. If I must use silicone sealant I wait until it dries in the tip and then I peel it out (Tedious and not worth the trouble).
Silicone Sealant -WalMart:
I love the way this looks as frosting because it is very white and smooth. I don't use it for large projects because silicone attracts dirt like a magnet. I do use it to fill some Kawaii pastries I make. Another bad thing about silicone sealant is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to wash it off. If you get it on your hands while it is wet you can't get it off. Water just does not work with silicone. Once it is dry you can peel it off.
Power Point Latex, Acrylic & Silicone Sealant:
This is my favorite frosting to use because it is very detailed and it is smooth enough to use with a pastry decorating tip.
Spackle...I love the name:
Buy it at Wal-Mart or any hardware store. I don't use it very often because it is really thick, much too thick to squeeze out of a pastry bag. Also it crumbles and I do not like that. But it does have it's place as a frosting, I just have not decided where yet. :)
Puffy Paint - Walmart/craft stores:
Puffy paint is a good frosting for some things. It is much too wet to use in a pastry bag. It wont keep its shape very well because it is too wet. Like the Spackle, it has its place as a frosting but I don't know where!
SORRY I have been gone for a while. I have been in NY visiting family. It was a lot of fun, but I am glad to be home. I made this iPhone case before I left, but it was taking a long time to dry so I had to leave it.
