Tulip Gellies as DecoSauce

This tutorial will show you how to make deco sauce with Tulip Gellies. This bottle cost like a dollar.

Tulip Gellies come in all assorted colors. I like to buy the clear one because I have so many paints at home I just add in whatever color I want and I can make any color gel. The clear tulip gellie is opaque at first but dries clear. You can add in any paint to change the color, if you want a more translucent appearance just add in like one drop.

This is how Tulip Gellie looks mixed in with a few drops of paint, I added way too many drops so it wont be translucent anymore.

It takes about 24 – 48 hours to dry depending on the thickness level you use. When dry this has a raised thick look. It does not dry flat like paint, so its great when you want a slight raised effect on your crafts.

Now you have your own jelly consistency Deco sauce. You can use this on just about any surface and its super cheap to make. Try it with brown to make fake hot fudge sauce, or red for strawberry/ raspberry jelly, caramel, you can make so many different types of fake gelatins or even puddings. This is a really fun item.

Here is how Tulip Gellie looks when dried VS. when paint is dried. I wanted you to see that the Tulip Gellie has that thick creamy consistency and paint just dries flat.

Here is some Tulip Gellie on some of my whipped cream dollops

I initially thought I put too much paint and it wouldnt be translucent when dried but it came out really well. It was slightly translucent and you could see the colors underneath a bit. In real life it looks much better than the pictures captured the texture.

I hope you give it a try and that this tutorial was helpful. Happy Crafting

    I think this tutorial is great! I was just curious as to how you got the white and mint whipped cream drop to mix like that

  6. admin Says:

    they’re not really mixed. Its a white whipped cream and then I just painted the whipped cream dollop to make it look like that
