Sea stained glass 3D heart making
…or just order one 🙂
To make flowery night light like that, you’ll need: small white and green sea glass, wire (copper or zinc-coated steel), piers and wirecutter, copper foil for stained glass making, solder and soldering iron, stained glass flux. Most intricate part would be foiling the petals. BTW, for pussy-willows I do it the same way. The idea …
To make a mermaid suncatcher like that, you’ll need some green sea glass, big white oval piece for the head, two similar sea shells for the bra, small bright glass pieces for the necklace. If you have dark blue sea glass for the fins – good for you, I cut those out of the bottle. …
To make this one you mus have at least some experience in creating “flat” stained glass items. You will need: small white sea glass (at least 1,5 – 2 times more than will be used). 5 mm copper foil for stained glass making, 60/40 solder, 1 mm copper wire, two small red glass pieces or …
You will need, apart from some nice sea glass pieces, wire about 1 mm thick. I use zinc-coated steel one (it’s cheaper), but copper one will do too. Not the copper-coated. Wire cutter, pilers, solder (lead-free), some stained glass flux. Soldering iron better less powerful and with smaller tip than those for stained glass making. …
To make something like this, you’ll need some mould (statuette or styrofoam figurine, can be even plastic one – but you’ll probably ruin it in the process, so nothing that cannot handle high temperatures and washing, if the mould is precious to you). A lot of pieces of white and brown sea glass need to …
Apart from some big-gish and beautiful sea glass pieces, you’ll need: galvanized (zinc-coated, it’s important! it is grey and solders well) steel wire (about 0.8-1 mm), thin (0.4-0.6 mm) copper wire, wire cutter and pliers, lead-free solder, stained glass copper foil (5-6 mm), some stained glass flux, soldering iron at least 100 wt. Instead of …
Snail shells are very beautiful, and you can give them a second life. This is how I do it. Of course, we only admire live animals, but we can collect already empty shells: Then they should be washed and dried. The next stage is covering the shell itself along the edge with copper foil for …
Мушлі від равликів дуже красиві, і ім можна дати друге життя. Ось як це роблю я. Звичайно, живими тваринками ми тільки милуємося, а збираємо уже пусті мушлі: Потім іх треба відмити і висушити. Наступний етап – оклеювання мідною фольгою для вітражу самої мушлі по краю, виготовлення імітації тіла равлика зі звичайної алюмінієвої фольги. Тіло теж …
