One of the big elements of Decoden is Deco Sauce. So below is my list of useful materials you can use to make them with products found at your local craft store. You can also use these materials to make other types of liquids such as syrups, drinks , milk, jelly,  icing and even water.

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.
