Decoden.

What is decoden? Decoden is an art form from Japan. Many have seen this art form adorning some Iphones and Mp3 player.  Using flat back crystals, pearls and a large embelishments like buttons or cabochons (which are large plastic stickers) artist in Japan use this to add dimension to objects.

Another one is SpottedCanary.com. They use pdf's and videos  to show up close and personal on how to do this. The class should be on its home page.

Where do I get the supplies? That is easy. At every craft store. I know Micheals and Hobby Lobby both carry Jolees boutique products. Michaels carry the Cabochons line from Jolees. To take a closer look at the line of products go here.

Ebay is always  a good option when looking for anything you want to buy. Here are some other links that I found on google. I cannot reccomend any because I havent shopped anywhere but these are some great ways to start looking around.
