# Frosted Phone Covers Mr. Kate Shows How to Make Delicious-Looking Protectors By Sarah Nazim | Published 2012-05-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-project-by-mr-kate References: [hellogiggles](http://hellogiggles.com/diy-japanese-decoden-inspired-phone-covers) & [mrkate](http://www.mrkate.com/) In this video, Mr. Kate walks you through how to turn any phone case into a delicious, mouthwatering piece. Decoden is a Japanese method of turning non-edible objects into glittery appetizing ones. To get the Japanese-inspired look, all you will need is some silicone caulk, a phone case, scrumptious decorations, jewels and some utensils. You simply slather on a thick layer of the silicone caulk, decorate and let it dry for two to four hours. Then, you are set! The silicone has a bit of a mushy feel to it once it dries, and is not heavy, so you can comfortably carry the phone around. This adorable DIY project by Mr. Kate is super easy, which means you can make a couple different cases and switch them up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Decoden Phone Cases:** Creating delicious-looking phone case designs using the Japanese decoden technique. - **DIY Phone Case Customization:** Businesses can tap into the trend of consumers personalizing their phone cases with unique designs and decorations. - **Non-edible Object Transformation:** Exploring the market for transforming everyday objects into visually appealing items through innovative techniques like silicone caulk. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile Accessories:** Opportunity for mobile accessory companies to offer decoden-inspired phone case designs for customers. - **Arts and Crafts:** Art supply and craft stores can promote materials and tools for DIY phone case customization projects. - **Home Decor:** Expansion into the market of transforming non-edible objects like home decor items into visually appealing designs using the decoden technique. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jewelry-Like Smartphone Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rmour-candy-corner-protectors.md) - [Playful Custom Tech Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charm-phone-case.md) - [Thematic Floral-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x-series-phone-cases.md) - [Spring-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-phone-case.md) - [Confetti-Inspired Phone Case Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confettiinspired-phone-case.md) - [Storytelling Floral Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-xline-floral-series.md) - [Personalized Emoji Tech Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memoji-case.md) - [Surrealist Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dali-x-casetify.md) - [Japanese Geta-Inspired Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bailey-hikawa.md)
