I've been collecting plastic lids for probably about four years. I wondered if I could create a snowflake with lids and beads.
I fashioned an easy snowflake from matching lids for my first attempt.
I thought Glue-All would hold everything together.
Unfortunately, Glue-All didn't hold. Darn it.
Super Glue didn't hold.
I was about to try model cement when I read other lid art had been created with a glue gun. I decided to give it a try. After all, model glue has such an odor...
The next day, it looked great. But would it hold up under its own weight?
That is sure a neat one. Always plenty of ideas under your sun. Orlin would go diving in those caps, likes to bat them around.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to see film of Orlin diving into a paper bag full of lids, Pat! That would be an awesome Friday Funny!
DeleteI absolutely love this idea! So creative! Ok.......gotta get collecting clear lids - in Southern NM we rarely see snow! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Miaismine! Where in NM?!? I'm from Alamogordo and Las Cruces!
DeleteI was about to suggest E6000, but no need! Glue gun to the rescue! What a fun project.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of E6000, Sue. But yet, the glue gun did work.
