DECODEN ALL THE THINGS!

I recently finished a tokidoki decoden iphone 4S case! Jeani at work wanted to get something special for a friend of her's for their birthday. I had shown her what decoden was and she instantly needed it. This is what I created for her! (curious about decoden? Sophie & Toffee is a shop where you can buy the essentials and they even have their own blog with simple tutorials.)

It was quite the process! I went to hot topic and bought one of the larger tokidoki collectable unicorns because I thought it would be cuter than just having small tokidoki things on it. The unicorn ended up being larger than I had intended. So I actually had to cut 1/3 of the unicorn off so it wouldn't be really bulky on the phone. It took a whole hour to cut it. I used a thin hand saw and an X-acto knife (I went through two blades). Then it took about 30 minutes to pick out all the cabachons and colors that I wanted to use on the phone. I had to add the sparkles and jewels! Took about another hour to put everything together with the silicon and everything! It turned out to be suuuuuper cute though! I really love the colors on the unicorn so I tried to play with them. I also really like how the stamp on it's head says tokidoki in Japanese! Too cute!

After all this sweet talking I have to go watch Wreck-It-Ralph! I love that movie!
