DIY Dragon Candy Jar - Decoration Idea- Glass Upcycling
zhlédnutí 142Před 28 dny
The idea of crafting a candy jar in the shape of a dragon with his treasures came recently to my mind. One of the dragon´s eyes is open, the other one still closed as if he just woke up because someone is approaching his sweet treasures. I hope the project brings a smile to your face as it did to me. I´d love to know in the comments below. Have a happy crafting time. The materials I used are: A...
DIY Mistletoe - Decoration Idea - Glass upcycling Bottle Art
zhlédnutí 2,7KPřed měsícem
The idea to make mistletoe seeds with hotglue came to me while I made my dragonfly project. I love those delicate branches and their symbolic meaning (health, luck and protection for lovers). So I decided to model them with paperclay on the glass as if they grew around the bottle. The colour combination of yellow, crimson and orange reminds me of an early sunrise and amber. I would love to know...

This time I upcycled an empty glass bottle to create a piece of decoration which can be used as lamp or vase. Additional materials I used are: Acrylic colour (Red, Yellow and Black), some lace fabric and a glue gun. To bring light to the scene I used a string of LED fairy lights.

This one is fun! And the foil! Clever! ❤❤❤❤❤
🥰Thank you!🦇🌙✨
@@craftingsparks my pleasure, as always.
@@helma-rs4kr 💕I am so happy that you enjoy the new project💖
@@craftingsparks they are group projects🤣🙃 The way they come we can't print the templates. So i download the file, send it to a friend, she turns it into a pdf, returns it to me, ik send it to another friend, wich prints it for me, returns it to me and i get to work with it. Perhaps i should learn to draw.......🤔😉. Btw, i adore all of your projects. I can make them🩷🩷🩷
@@helma-rs4kr 😊OMG wow thank you so much for telling me! I wasn´t aware of that! I thought JPEG would be fine and easy to print. I´ll do my best to upload as PDF in the future 🤣. And I am so delighted you enjoy the style of my crafts. I know it is often recommended to only make a certain type of videos on CZcams, but I cannot help I just have to craft what comes to my mind no matter if the themes are of different types. Sometimes more complex and sometimes short and simple like the bats. And don´t worry, drawing is just a matter of practice. No matter if you do it freehanded or with a pattern, your drawing skills always improve with routine over time😉
Fantastisch 👏👏👏💝
💖Ganz vielen lieben Dank 😊💕
Wonder what my peacock thinks. I bet he loves it. Like his mama. Thanks so much. You are truly gifted. ❤
💕Thank you so very much!😊 I really hope your peacock likes it.🦚 Have a happy crafting time💖
Fantastic job👌👌 👍 Love the colours and clear, crisp instructions. Thank you for this great tutorial 🙏🙏❤
💖Thanks so much! I am super happy you like it🥰😊
Hermosa trabajo ❤
🥰Muchas Gracias!😊💖
You demonstrate such patience. Beautiful outcome.
🥰Thank you so very much! I am super happy you like the result.😊🍀
Since I was a little child mystical fantasy creatures always played an important part in my life. So I especially enjoyed bringing this project to life. Do you love fantastic creatures too? I´d love to know. Please tell me in the comments.
I have 5 gluenguns..and theyball just poop.glue all the time like the trigger didnt matter..heck. the chespest one i bought does it least.
💖Hi and welcome! I am glad at least your last gluegun works fine. I bought mine years ago and almost forgot about it until I started to experiment in my projects with hotglue. Mine also drools a bit now and then even if I don´t push the trigger 😅. I saw that there are glueguns with really thin nozzles - mine has a wider nozzle but I get along with it so far. I hope your gluegun works now for lots of projects💖.
This is more than art, its magic. Beautiful.
💓Oh wow, thank you so very, very much!😊💝
@@craftingsparks Wé are the greatful ones. Thanks for letting us be part of your piece of paradise.

I post the patterns in the community section of my channel, here is the link to my dragonfly pattern: yt3.ggpht.com/vInf5fJvA-Syn5yP66sT-lOpcoyl3UGVXPqfMAKVOxasq52agCAbwoA7XRDV8xuiYfD4QdOSAw1jMQ=s1600-rw-nd-v1 .

@@craftingsparks oh! I see it! Thanks so much for the link, i don't know if i would have found it by myself 🙃. I'm one of the happy people.
@@craftingsparks 😻
@@helma-rs4kr ☺👍😻
Awesome! ❤
💖Thank you!☺❤
These are Fantastic!! Super great!! Super pretty!! I'm totally inspired! So happy your video popped up for me,. Yeah pretty sure it's just for me haaaa Thank you:) I'm subscribing right now
💞Thank you so much and a very happy welcome to my channel!🥰✨
i hate the music. just talk . it makes it so boring i cant get through the video for more then a 1 min
Hi, I know many tutorials are with lots of talking and that´s totally fine. But I prefer using subtitles and music for my videos. It is good that there are variable types of videos so everyone has a choice.
These are really, really lovely! I am terrible with tiny paintbrushes, so I think I'll try using fine point Sharpies for coloring the wings, since I have lots of colors of those. And did you know you can run crayons through a mini glue gun? Might be a good way to make the body/head a solid base color, and then you'd just have to paint on accents.
💖 Thanks so much! Using sharpies too sounds like a good idea. And thanks for the tip with the crayons, I´ll keep that in mind 😊💕
I'm going to try watercolor markers/alcohol markers and Different inks for coloring. Hoping opacity is like the glass paint you used. These are so ❤ awesome
💖I am sure it will look beautiful. The colors of my gold and bronze dragonfly have no opacity too but I left it partially unpainted so it has kind of a translucent effect too.☺
@@craftingsparks awe. Thank you . Yours are so beautiful 😍
Also..this is awesome for adding wings to Anything ❤
🥰Absolutely! There will be more tutorials on my channel from time to time about small winged beauties.☺
@@craftingsparks 💓💓💓 I make a lot of mixed media/assemblage boxes. One of the things I find myself adding to many are small fairies and little forest critters with wings 💓 cant wait to see more from u!
@@izzyjones7108 💞That sounds wonderful! I always loved small nature creatures, as long as I can think. I hope there will be something you like in my future projects, too.💖
I ❤ this! I'm gonna make some
💞Thank you and have lots of fun with the project!✨
СУПЕР ВИДЕО! ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО ЗА МК!!!!
💞Большое спасибо!😊✨
I would have died for this video in 1998 when i was 9, making human sized butterfly/fairy wings with wire, nylons,and spray paint.
💖 Thank you! I am happy you like the tutorial so much! 😊💕
Wao! Hipnótico! Precioso trabajo!! ❤❤❤
❤Muchas Gracias!😊💕
I enjoyed the whole thing including the music.
🥰 Thank you so much! I am a huge fan of TweakerRay´s music. It adds an energetic touch and I am so happy he lets me use his music for my videos!💞💖
Beautiful 😍 I would like to make these. Dragonflies are the state insects in Washington. I have one that comes to my back patio and flies in place and will just stare at me 😅 I believe it's my late husband coming around to say hello 👋 Thank you ❤
💞Thank you! How wonderful! I wish you lots of joy with the project and many lovely visits from your dragonfly! 🥰✨
The common green darner dragonfly, specifically! I love their coloring.
Hässlich, diese kleber, bljak
These are so beautiful!!! What an amazing and wonderful gift these would make. Thank you! 😊❤
💕😊Thanks so much! You are very welcome!✨
Greetings from Brazil. Wonderful idea! Very clear explanation. ❤ Dragonflies.
💕Thank you very much and lots of greetings to beautiful Brazil from Germany.💖
These are beautiful! I wish I was patient enough to make some (and that my physical disability didn’t affect my hands)!
💖Thank you! I am so happy you love these flying gems and the video. 😊💕
Amazing!
😊Thank you very much!💕
Yay finally a left handed artist I can relate to!! These are magnificent!!! You have a lot more patience than me l! I may try this too. Thanks for showing us this.❤❤❤
🥰Thank you so much and welcome dear fellow left handed artist 😍! Please yes, give them a try. Especially the painting part is very relaxing while listening to some nice music.💖
How much do you sell those for?
☺ Hi, I just made these for the project. I do not sell my crafts, sorry. But they are really easy to make. Just give it a try.💖
What type of paint do you use on your dragonflies? So pretty, thank you for sharing your talent. Much appreciated.
💖Thank you so much! The paint I used here are glass colours from Marabu. They work fine for these small surfaces and you can wash out the brush with water. For larger projects I prefer solvent based glass colours 😊💞
Beautiful dragonflies!! (I love dragonflies) One of the best projects I have seen lately!!!! 😍😍
💖Wow, I am stunned that you like the project that much! 🥰 Thank you! ✨
Absolutely stunning! You are VERY talented and patient 😄, I've never seen glass paint or how to use it before but your videos are inspiring me so much, I need to try some of your techniques 😍 xx
😍 Thank you very very much! I have to admit I am a bit addicted to painting with glass colours ... the effects and light intensity are so lovely. Most of the times I use solvent based glass colours (always keep a window open because of the solvent fumes). Especially when I have to paint bigger and curved surfaces I use those colours. The water based ones worked fine for my dragonfly project, too because they are so small. But it seems to me the water based colours are less intense and more runny. But on the other hand you can wash out the brush with water and the fumes while painting are less intense.😊🌼
Incredible designs and techniques- stunning results! Well done my friend from your new UK subscriber xx
🥰💞Oh WOW! Thank you for subscribing and a happy welcome! 💓💞
WOW! Incredibly beautiful and intricate, this craftwork is AMAZING, thankyou and well done xx xx
💞😊That is so kind of you! I am happy you like it! 💖
Love this! I’m going to try this with some homemade gallery glass (clear Elmer’s plus watercolor or food coloring or acrylic) and see how it goes ❤
🥰Thank you! That sounds wonderful! I wish you lots of joy with your project!💖✨
Just lovely!
💞Thank you so very much! 😊💖
Thank you!😊😊😊
🥰 You are very welcome 🌻💖
Beautiful
🥰 Thank you! ☺💞
If you don't actually want the plastic to go matte, sharpie ink can be removed with rubbing alcohol without affecting the plastic.
🥰Thank you! I will have to try that. 💖
