			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this tutorial Im going to show you how to color your caulk with lipstick. This idea was given by genny328 on LJ. Ok so lets get started.</p>
<p><strong>Materials Needed</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Caulk</li>
<li>Bag</li>
<li>Lipstick</li>
</ul>
<p>Step 1: Put your caulk in a bag. Im only making a sample batch so I put mine in a mini baggie. By doing this we are limiting air exposure and not allowing the caulk to cure and get hard. This gives you more working time to add color and pipe it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kawaiifrenzy/4244879481/" title="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial by KawaiiFrenzy, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4244879481_80c07a28fe_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-157"></span></p>
<p>oh by the way I just used some cheap-o wet and wild lipstick</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kawaiifrenzy/4244880127/" title="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial by KawaiiFrenzy, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2743/4244880127_d674bb642d_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial" /></a></p>
<p>Then just mix it together in the bag until its evenly blended. Then its ready to use.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kawaiifrenzy/4244879689/" title="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial by KawaiiFrenzy, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4244879689_2de7f726cc_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial" /></a></p>
<p>UPDATE: I was worried that the lipstick might affect the curing of the caulk, but nope it was perfect. The lipstick didnt affect it at all and it set up perfect. So feel safe working with this technique it worked out great.</p>
<p>oh and if the lipstick you use has glitter it gives of a shiny sparkly appearance to the caulk. Also I think due to the wax in the lipstick and thats its totally blended, when I touch it, I do get a slight bit of glitter on my hands, but that may be that its not as cured as I thought yet. It could also be that the wax in the lipstick although blended will never cure as the caulk maybe always having a very very slight waxy topcoat? I dont feel any wax but I do see the slight glitter on my hands lol</p>
<p>UPDATE 2: Now that it has had the chance to fully cure, the glitter coming off on my hands is no longer happening. Just dont be impatient like me and let it dry at least 24 hours or  more and you&#8217;re good to go.</p>
<p>Happy Crafting</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this tutorial I will show you how to add color to your caulk with oil paint. Im making this tutorial for people who like to make miniatures or decoden , re-ment and stuff like that. Although I know other people who are doing home repair will appreciate this as well.</p>
<p>All you need is some caulk and some oil paint. So lets get started.</p>
<p>Step 1: Put your caulk in a plastic baggie to mix, Im only making a sample batch so you can put yours directly into a piping bag or squeeze bottle. When mixing the caulk you want to minimize the exposure of the caulk to air so it doesnt cure and allows you enough time to blend it and make your creations. Which is why I use a zip lock mini baggie and squeeze out the air, it gives me more working time.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kawaiifrenzy/4245654602/" title="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial by KawaiiFrenzy, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4245654602_75f3fca070_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-155"></span></p>
<p>Step 2: Put in a drop of your oil paint, you should start with a little drop of oil paint depending on the color you&#8217;re trying to accomplish. Then add more as needed to achieve your color.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kawaiifrenzy/4244880525/" title="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial by KawaiiFrenzy, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2786/4244880525_404f3471bd_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial" /></a></p>
<p>Step 3: Then just squeeze the bag to mix the caulk with the oil paint, until its fully blended. I added too much red paint so it didnt turn into a light pink but a darker one. Its always better to start with a little bit of paint then too much.</p>
<p>Here is the final product, your very own colored caulk to make your fake whipped cream creations. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kawaiifrenzy/4244880309/" title="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial by KawaiiFrenzy, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/4244880309_3354d42be8_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Colored Caulk Silicone Tutorial" /></a></p>
<p>You can buy kits of oil paint tubes for about $5 bucks for a set at michaels or other craft stores.</p>
<p>OLD TIP BELOW: You can still use it but its much cheaper to buy the $5 buck kit as stated above</p>
<p>you can also buy oil paint kits like Craft House oil paint by numbers kits. They can cost from $15 to $25 and will give you a ton of colors. So much better than spending alot on big tubes of oil paint. Hope this tip helps.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kawaiifrenzy/4245653952/" title="Oil Paint Color By number kit by KawaiiFrenzy, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2712/4245653952_e0436c1cc3_m.jpg" width="240" height="196" alt="Oil Paint Color By number kit" /></a></p>
<p>Happy Crafting</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So Decoden is huge right now in the U.S and making this kawaii style can get a bit expensive without the right materials. 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.</p>
<p><span id="more-29"></span></p>
<p><strong>MATERIALS</strong></p>
<p>* 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.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Tulip Gellies &#8211; </strong>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.</li>
<li><strong>Puff paint</strong> &#8211; I love puff paint, it can make a thicker version of Deco Sauce and it pipes out just like decorating icing.</li>
<li><strong>Gloss or Craft varnish -</strong> you can add color by adding in paints, powders ect.</li>
<li><strong>Paints </strong>- 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.</li>
<li><strong>Gels </strong>- Craft gels are fantastic to use</li>
<li><strong>Liquid Latex</strong> &#8211; great to dip stuff and give melting effect</li>
<li><strong>Liquid Rubber</strong> &#8211; great to dip stuff and give melting effect</li>
<li><strong>Glue</strong> &#8211; some of the easiest ones are glue pens since they already have a tip</li>
<li><strong>Hot Glue</strong> &#8211; 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.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>TIP</strong>: 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.</p>
