pending Project DIY no. 1

as the title,

this project is still pending.

I finally began this one like, 4 weeks ago.

I watched tons of tutorials on youtube for this one, as you may already know

and I thought I'm all set.

but since it involves some unfamiliar/fumed materials, it didn't go as smoothly as I thought it would.

first I painted my clear case pink. 

it actually some red paint mixed with white coz I don't have pink colored paint :P

and while I waited for the paint to dry, I cut off some 'desired' pictures.

kalau bukan cOnew, sapa jua lagi? ahahah

I was using acrylic paint, so I know that would take ages to dry

so i move on to the next step; making my 'whipped cream'.

I used 100% silicone mixed with a purple oil paint.

this picture was taken after I mixed the silicone with the paint.

look at that mess ;P

previously (like few months ago), I tried using acrylic paint but the silicone hardened too quickly and became difficult to work with.

I read somewhere on Instagram, saying that some silicone don't work with acrylic paints. so other alternative was to use oil paint or food coloring.

So, that's why I am using oil paint this time around.

I tried them out on a piece of paper, using a baking piping tools.

looks legit, right?

here's some more 'practice' I did

different icing cap gives different shape, of course.

they stink, btw. the silicone. So, I had to work on a well ventilated area a.k.a. i have to open my window, turned off aircond, and turned on the ceiling fan.

I know it took forever for the silicone to fully dry, and by the time that I'm about to make a second batch of the 'whipped cream', it was night time and I can not have my window open during night time (for some cultural beliefs).

So, tergendala lah my project.

I made layout for future use.

I bought the SHINee colored decodens from ebay a long time ago. I glued crystal around the edges coz I love sparkles. the bottle cap thingy was from my purchased at Daiso, Miri. (I love Daiso!).

I haven't figured out how to layout the whipped cream; full or just the edges and under the decodens?

anyway,

I meant for the project to resume the next weekend but I had wedding to attend to the next Sunday, then the next Sunday nya lagi I went Miri (to buy my Faceshop! will share pictures on nanti punya post) and now, too tired to start anything. LOL

you'll be the first to know when I finish with it. ;)

although, this case look awesome already without the whipped cream.

what do you think?
