I like to make my own so that I can get the consistency that I like. I always make more of a creamy thicker sauce and then later on I can thin it out to a glaze or syrup.

I wrote a tutorial on this technique if you would like to try it as well
http://kawaiifrenzy.com/Blog/2010/01/polymer-clay-whipped-cream-tutorial/

So heres a few pics from my days work

on and in this last pic, if you look at the pink cup you will see its still chunky. I didnt condition the clay enough before I started to whip it up so its giving me a lot of problems to get it smooth. It is very important to properly condition the clay or the deco sauce will be filled with lumps. I’ll probably have to start this one over to get it to the way that I like it.

I got a ton of goodies to use on some of my new deco creations, expect a huge deco charm post soon cuz Im gonna put all these supplies to good use.

I got some

Crayola Glitter Glue Pens

they can be used as deco sauce, I’ll show you how they come out in one of my next posts.

I got a ton of ceramcoat acrylic paint, scribbles 3D Paint, Oil paint, PPA Glue, Crafters Pick The ultimate glue, Gem Tac glue, some more liquid sculpey, Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue, few craft punches, cookie cutters

and I couldnt believe they had those cute erasers, they’re not iwako but they look just like them and they are super cute, 1 package for 4 erasers was a dollar and they were on sale so I paid just .75 cents for them. So cute

I hope they start having more kawaii at the craft stores, I know it will never be japan but a girl can dream.

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 Clear Tulip Gellie looks

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.

This is how Tulip Gellie looks totally mixed up

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

and I covered a Snow-Tex topped clay charm with the Tulip Gellie I made

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

MATERIALS

* All of these items are available in the U.S and cost very little and you should be able to find most of them at your local craft store or at online U.S shops.

1. Tulip Gellies – These are perfect to make deco sauce, I like to buy the clear ones so that I can add in whatever paint color I want to make any color sauce.  They cost like a $1 or less and its just like decollage brand deco sauce from japan. In japan decollage deco sauce cost like a dollar too but sellers are just way overpricing them and selling them to people outside of japan for like 5 times the price. Dont be fooled by pretty packaging and fancy names.
2. Puff paint – I love puff paint, it can make a thicker version of Deco Sauce and it pipes out just like decorating icing.
3. Gloss or Craft varnish - you can add color by adding in paints, powders ect.
4. Paints - The trick is to pour on instead of paint on. Just make sure the item you are pouring this on can be painted. Especially if you use caulk since not all caulk varieties can be painted.
5. Gels - Craft gels are fantastic to use
6. Liquid Latex – great to dip stuff and give melting effect
7. Liquid Rubber – great to dip stuff and give melting effect
8. Glue – some of the easiest ones are glue pens since they already have a tip
9. Hot Glue – You can buy hot glue sticks in colors like brown to make melting dripping hot fudge, or white to make melting marshmallows , golden yellow to make caramel. You can even get them in other colors like pink, purple and mint which can make cool effects for melting ice creams. There are so many possibilities.

TIP: Remember that some of these products are not waterproof and they will dissolve in water. So you may want to coat it in some sort of waterproof gloss. If you are just going to keep your creation inside lets say when making miniatures or for a dollhouse item that wont get wet Im sure it will be fine. If you are going to use it for jewelry or anything that has the ability to get wet like on decoden phones or something you gotta make sure you seal it properly or just use waterproof products.
