Decoden review
What is decoden?
It is a cute, hands-on way to decorate everyday items.
Decoden is a decorating style where you use cream glue, charms, pearls, rhinestones, and textured details to cover an item. It started with phone decoration, but today it works beautifully for accessories, frames, trays, and giftable keepsakes.
Keychains and clips
Smaller projects that are great for friend hangs, gifts, party groups, or a first creative visit.
Frames and accessories
Decorate Polaroid frames, hairbrushes, trays, jewelry boxes, and other cute keepsakes.
Bundles and add-ons
Pair a phone case with a keychain or choose a bundle when you want a matching set.
Full decoden process
Decoden is slower and more tactile than it looks online. Most of the fun is choosing charms, testing layouts, and deciding how full you want the finished piece to feel.
- 1Book online: Choose the decoden project you want to make, then reserve your appointment time online.
- 2Arrive at the studio: Come to the studio at your appointment time. We will get you settled and explain the flow before you start.
- 3Pick your charms: Browse charms, pearls, rhinestones, and cute details. This choice stage usually takes the longest.
- 4Choose cream glue colours: Select the cream glue colours that will hold your charms and create the textured decoden look.
- 5Decorate your piece: Plan your layout, place your charms, and create your custom design with staff guidance nearby.
- 6We box it up: When you are finished, we package your piece so it can travel home gently.
- 7Take it home and let it cure: You take your piece home the same day, but the cream glue takes about 3-5 days to fully dry and cure.
