Whipped Cream Glue: The Decoden Technique 🍦✨

The key to this craft is the textured, fluffy look created by the special adhesive.

What is Whipped Cream Glue?

Appearance: This is a thick, quick-drying craft adhesive that comes in a piping bag or tube and mimics the look of whipped cream frosting.
Application: You attach a piping or decorating tip to the tube and squeeze the glue onto the hair clip base. This technique is often used in the Decoden style of crafting, which involves embellishing objects.

Customization for Team Spirit 🏟️

The sky is the limit when decorating your clips:

Team Colors: Use hair clips and embellishments (rhinestones, sequins, small beads) in the primary and secondary colors of your favorite professional, college, or youth team.
Focal Points: Use football-shaped beads or other sports-related charms as the main focal points of your design.
Planning: Be sure to plan your design before applying the glue so you can place the elements quickly while the glue is wet.

Drying and Finishing Tips 🛠️

Patience is required for the drying process, but the rest is effortless.

Embellishment Tools: Use tweezers to carefully pick up and place small rhinestones and sequins onto the wet glue. This ensures precision and keeps your fingers clean.
Drying Time: Set the finished hair clips aside and allow them to dry completely. Whipped cream glue must be fully cured to be durable and wearable, so resist the urge to handle them too soon!
Wearable Art: The finished accessories are totally customizable and a unique way to stand out in the stadium crowd or at a watch party.
